The Cognitive Neuroscience Group at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston is recruiting children between the ages of 8 and 12 years to participate in research studies funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH).
The
purpose of this study is to examine how children use language to
complete complex tasks. The study will involve up to 3 visits to the lab
in the Charlestown Navy Yard and 1-2 virtual
visits. During the visits, children will complete several cognitive and
language-based assessments and play games on the computer while
electrical brain activity is recorded. The recording is done with a safe
and noninvasive electroencephalography (EEG) net
worn on the scalp. Each in-person visit will last 1.5-2.5 hours. We are
looking for children who were late to develop language and/or currently
struggle to use or understand language (spoken or written). More
information can be found at:

Your child will earn up to $85 for completing this study and a fun prize at the end of each visit. We provide free all-day parking in the Navy Yard. We will also mail you a summary of your child’s scores on the cognitive and language assessments. Please email us at cnglead@mghihp.edu or call us at (617) 724-7363 if you are interested or if you have any questions.
We are running multiple research studies in our lab so please feel free to add your contact information to our recruitment database by right clicking on this hyper link: Child Research Recruitment (partners.org) and a member of our research team will reach out if your child is eligible for any of our current studies.
