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 research studies funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and 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 3 visits to the lab at the MGH Institute of Health Professions. During the visits, children complete a battery of cognitive and language-based assessments, play several games on the computer and complete several language/memory tasks. The lab visit includes safe and noninvasive EEG recording. A visit will last about 3 hours. We are looking for children who were late to develop language, and who still receive services for language or learning difficulties.

Payment is $50 for each in-person visit to
the lab ($150 total). We provide free all-day parking at the Navy Yard.
We will mail you the scores of your child on the cognitive and language
tests/subtests. Please email us at cnglead@mghihp.edu or
call us at (617) 643-4821 if you are interested or if you have any questions.
