infant and child studies at the university of maryland

In 2005, leading child development researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park created the Infant and Child Studies Consortium to work together to study how children learn and grow up. Since then, our research has developed and improved childhood literacy and numeracy programs, created new treatments for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and concussions, refined cochlear implant technology, and contributed to the greater understanding of language acquisition and social learning. Our offices are in the departments of Linguistics, Psychology, Human Development, and Hearing & Speech Sciences. None of our research would be possible without the generous participation of local families. Explore our site to find out more about our research and getting involved in current projects.

Play time before a study game!
What would it sound like to play go fish with a cochlear implant?
Sometimes a study visit means getting to see a picture of your very own brain!
Because of our research, we know there are a lot of incredible things going on in this little mind!
Study break in the Language Development Lab
Picking out prizes to take home after a research game in the Project on Children's Language Learning
In this study, volunteers got to take home a t-shirt, temporary tattoo, and 3-D model of their very own brains!
Sometimes our studies have silly videos to watch.
This study involved a game of toy hide-and-go-seek to help us uncover what 3-year-olds know at their stage in language development
Our youngest volunteers often sit on mom's lap.
Hard at work!
All smiles in the Language Development Lab.
