*The Cognitive Neuroscience Group at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston is recruiting children between the ages of 8 and 11 years to participate in a research study funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH).
* The purpose of the study is to evaluate the learning patterns of children with typical and atypical language development. The study will involve three visits to the lab at the MGH Institute of Health Professions. During the visits, several language and cognition tests will be administered, and electroencephalogram (EEG) will be recorded while participants perform several tasks on a computer. Each visit will last about 1.5 hours. Some virtual options are available. Procedures are in place to maintain COVID-19 safety precautions during in-person visits. A week after the final lab visit, your child will be asked to complete a short (5 minute) follow-up activity on a home computer or a mobile device.
*We are looking for children who were late to develop language, have received services for language or learning difficulties, or still have difficulty with language, reading comprehension, or learning. We are also recruiting children with typical language development.

*Payment is $120 for completing all study visits. We provide free all-day parking near our lab in the Charlestown Navy Yard. We will mail you a report of your child’s scores on the cognitive and language assessments.
