CDL Research Projects
The Child Development Lab (CDL) is home to a variety of ongoing research projects focused on understanding how children learn, grow, and interact with the world around them. Researchers from multiple disciplines study topics such as early learning, social development, language, and play, bringing current research directly into the classroom environment. Students, educators, researchers, and families are invited to learn more about our current projects and explore ways to get involved.
