Are you interested in how children learn? We at the Brain and Language Center for Neuroimaging (BL2) are too! We are part of the National Science Foundation and Gallaudet University’s Science of Learning Center on Visual Language and Visual Learning (VL2). In our BL2 Center, we are conducting a study on how deaf and hearing children learn, particularly in the areas of language, reading, and other higher cognitive functions (attention and emotion).
We are recruiting children that have no hearing loss, use hearing aids, or use cochlear implants. Both monolingual (English) or bilingual (English/ASL) children who will soon enter the first grade are invited to participate. We will test them before and after their first year of primary schooling. Our studies are designed to be a fun opportunity for both parents and children.
Children will play science games while we measure their brain activity using harmless light (safe with hearing aids and cochlear implants) and their temperature using a thermal camera (touchless). This study has been reviewed and approved by the Gallaudet University Institutional Review Board at Gallaudet University. Participation is entirely voluntary.
We will pay $20 per hour for your participation and travel to/from our BL2 Center. Children will also receive a small toy!
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to call our lab at 202-618-6808 or email us at bl2@gallaudet.edu if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment.
