SMU KID Lab

We are back for the fall semester and have some fun studies coming soon! Stay tuned and sign up for the registry to get updates first :)

Registry for Research Studies at the SMU KID Lab As a part of the Southern Methodist University KID (Kids in Development) Lab, we are creating this registry for families that may be interested in participating in research studies in the future. You will be contacted only when an opportunity that is relevant to your child is available and/or there....

Looking for a fun, educational, summer activity with your little one? Come join us at SMU for the Tech & Talking study! Enrolling now through the summer (and maybe into the fall). Reach out if you are interested ([email protected]) or complete the screener (https://redcap.link/ttrecruitment) and please share!

Have you heard of the SMU KID Lab Tech & Talking research study?The first of many papers is out and making waves! We find that children exposed to higher rates of video watching tend to have smaller vocabularies, but that other forms of media (video chats, e-books) are not as harmful and when videos are used for social connection or education, it might offset the negative effects in some children. Check it out! https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2024-02-22/long-hours-watching-videos-may-stunt-toddlers-language-development
