Children Needed to Participate in Research on Music and Language

Professor Erin Hannon’s UNLV Music Lab at UNLV is seeking families with children ages 4-11 years to participate in a new research study investigating how children process music and language. If you participate, you and your child will visit the lab and we will ask your child about how speech- or song-like they consider certain sounds and their musical interests while playing a fun game. Depending on how engaged your child is with our tasks, this could be a 1 or 2 session study. If a second session is needed, it will be scheduled to take place over a 2-week period. You will receive a toy or t-shirt, plus a 1/20 chance to win a $20 gift card (Target or Amazon). The study should take no more than 1.5 hours (plus the time it takes for you to complete a short online questionnaire before the study). If you are interested or would like more information, please visit our Participation Sign-Up Page. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us (information below).
