<p style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal"><font>Are you interested in exploring psychology beyond class
work? Do you want to go to graduate school? Do you want hands-on experience
with cutting-edge research?</font></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal"><font> </font></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal"><font>If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then the
Temple University Infant and Child Lab might be a great place for you to spend your
summer vacation!</font></p>

<p style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal"><font> </font></p>
<p style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal"><font>The Temple Infant and Child Lab, directed by Professors Kathy
Hirsh-Pasek and Nora Newcombe, conducts research on language acquisition,
parent-child play interactions, spatial learning, and memory development both in theory and application.<span> </span>We ask such questions as how do children
learn their very first words? What contexts help children learn? When do
certain spatial abilities develop?<span>
</span>Exploring these types of research questions helps both parents and
professionals better understand learning and development in infants and young
children.</font></p>

student interns will receive hands-on experience in every step of the research
process.<span> </span>Duties include recruiting
participants, helping design and create experimental stimuli, running
participants, and coding and analyzing data.<span>
</span>Each intern will also be paired with a graduate student mentor who will
guide the intern with readings and serve as a resource for questions about
research and graduate school.</font></p>
