Language, Experience, and Development (LEAD) Lab
Participate in a Study!
Thank you for your interest in LEAD lab studies! Our research depends on caregivers, families, and educators like you helping to advance science, so that we can use that science to help children grow, learn, and LEAD our world.
We are currently recruiting for PLANES (Preschool Language and Neural Engagement Study) and FINS (Family Inspired Neural Synchrony). Click on our tabs below to learn more!
Please fill out our eligibility screener to express interest in participating: https://umdsurvey.umd.edu/jfe/form/SV_6y5UghSh2klhk2O. Please reach out to our lab email leadlab@umd.edu to ask any questions. Someone from our team will be in touch soon!
PLANES (Preschool Language and Neural Engagement Study) is a study for 3-year-old children that investigates how children’s early experiences influence their learning and brain development. Participation involves fun, kid-friendly brain imaging sessions at our lab on the UMD College Park campus and an easy home audio recording. Participants will earn up to $230 for completing the study, your child will get a picture of their brain to take home, and they will get to learn about neuroscience!

In the Family-Inspired Neural Synchrony (FINS) Project, researchers are interested in how your child's brain interacts with a caregiver's brain to support learning. At your child's early learning center, you and your child will wear caps while playing games together, and you will fill out surveys about child development. You will receive $50 for participating.
