Our Seed Grant awardees Julie Schneider PhD and Jennie Grammer PhD are looking for children ages 7-12 and their parents to participate in a study exploring how everyday background noise levels impact learning in classroom-like settings.

What’s involved:

  • A visit to UCLA where your child will complete short tasks measuring vocabulary, literacy, non-verbal intelligence, and sensitivity to noise
  • EEG brainwave recording (non-invasive, safe, and kids get to see their own brainwaves!)
  • Tasks related to literacy, language learning, and attention performed with varying levels of background noise, all within safe hearing limits
  • Parents complete a brief questionnaire about their child and home environment

Interested? Complete the short eligibility screening to determine if your family is a good fit.
