Description of this project:
We are a developmental lab studying thr emotional development of infant to 9 year-old twins. We are looking at the links between emotional development, cognitive development, and motoric development. We also look at the genetic component of emotions, which is why we use twins.

Students in the lab operate video cameras to record sessions with twins, enter data into the computer, code videotapes for emotions, copy articles, and assist in other areas as needed. We provide training in all areas, although some knowledge of computers is helpful. We are looking for self -motivated, detail-oriented, and responsible students.
