FaceLook

FaceLook

Cognitive Development Lab (Loyola University Chicago)

Who Can Participate

Infants age 9 months to 12 months, born full-term (38+ weeks) who live in the United States.

What Happens

Your baby will see faces of different ages and races, and we will see how long your baby looks at each face.

What We're Studying

Starting around five months old, babies usually prefer to look at faces that belong to races that are familiar to them. We are studying whether this is impacted by the age of the face being looked at. This study benefits from babies participating no matter what their previous familiarity is with faces from different races, and the results will increase our understanding of the development of face processing and face preferences in infants.

Duration

10 minutes

Compensation

For your participation, you will be sent a $5 Amazon e-gift card after we confirm your consent video and check that your child meets all eligibility criteria. If you have multiple children that participate, you will receive one gift card per child. Each child is able to participate one time. Your baby should be clearly visible in the video consent and throughout the trials. You should receive the gift card to the email provided within 1 week of your participation.
