We are investigating how young children make inferences about simple situations like locations of objects hidden under cups. We will play out several simple scenarios with hiding objects under cups or planks and and having your child guess where an object may or may not be. This will help us understand the children’s developing understanding of possibility and necessity.
If you have any questions, even out of curiosity, please get in touch with Dr Kresimir Durdevic (kresimir.durdevic@stir.ac.uk)!
Who can take part?
Children between 2 and 3.5 years old. We will ask you about your child’s neurodiversity or additional supports, but your child can take part regardless. If you want to know more about the task before judging whether to attend, please get in touch (kresimir.durdevic@stir.ac.uk)!
What will happen if your child takes part?
We will meet you and your child at the reception of the main University entrance and walk with you to the Lifespan lab, room 3B109 where the testing will take part.
Are there any benefits in taking part?
Your child will receive a small toy and an attendance certificate as a reward, and you will be compensated with a £15 Amazon voucher.
