Here's looking at you! Do babies learn language from a speaker who avoids eye contact?
The Baby-LINC lab is looking for volunteers to take part in a new research study investigating the effect of eye contact on infants’ language learning. We are interested in how babies make use of visual information from the eyes to support early language learning.
We are looking for babies aged 8-10 months (i.e. born after Mar 2016), where both parents are native English speakers, and the mother has experienced postnatal depression for 2 months or more after giving birth.
The study will involve a single 2-hour visit to the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge, which is located in the centre of Cambridge. During the visit, your child will sit in your lap while watching a video of a female speaker, and your child will also be wearing an EEG cap so that we can record his/her brain activity at the same time.
You will be reimbursed for your travel expenses for up to 30£ and you will receive an educational toy for your child to thank you for your participation!
Further details can be found in the attached participant information sheet. If you would like to participate in the study, or if you have any questions, please contact Vaka Valsdottir at vv280@cam.ac.uk or phone 07498989165.
