What Happens

This study will take place on a video call, live with a researcher! Clicking on the “Participate Now!” button will send you to an online calendar where you can select a date and time that works for you. Your child will be asked to imagine and remember several different scenarios, such as people and places, and then tell us what the image in their 'mind's eye' is like.

What We're Studying

The goal of this study is to understand the characteristics of visual imagination in childhood, with a particular interest in examining individual differences across children. A lot of work has investigated individual differences in adults, but very little work has investigated individual differences in visual imagination in children!
