Department of PsychologyFrequently Asked Questions
Most of our studies involve one to two visits to our child-friendly centre that take 45 minutes to an hour. Once here, your child will participate in a series of fun, age appropriate play-like tasks with our staff. You are able and welcome to be with your child at all times during your visit. Siblings are more than welcome! We have toys, games and friendly staff to play with your children. As well, there are often additional studies being conducted that your other children may be able to participate in at the same time.
