Furthermore, the current study will take place in one session lasting approximately 15 minutes.

In terms of benefits, there is no direct benefit to you or your child. The benefit to society will be a better understanding of how children learn language. This knowledge may help in designing future treatment for children with language disorders.

Language Studies at The George Washinton University

Children seem to learn language effortlessly but also show interesting patterns not seen in adult language. At the Neuroscience of Language Lab at George Washington University, we examine such patterns to understand the brain mechanisms that underlie language development.

We are currently conducting studies with 3-to-7-year-olds that are looking at how accurately and quickly children of different ages remember and reproduce sequences.

All of our studies are designed to be short and fun for children. Our research staff will make every effort to make your visit comfortable.

Please contact us at (202) 994-5210 or gwu.neurolang@gmail.com if you are interested in participating. We look forward to meeting you and your child soon!
