Boston Children’s Hospital Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience
… [T]he Boston Children’s Hospital Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience are dedicated to furthering our understanding of brain and cognitive development in typically developing infants and children, as well as children diagnosed with or at risk for various developmental disorders.

Boston College Infant and Child Cognition Lab
The Infant and Child Cognition Lab is situated in the Psychology Department at Boston College, headed by Dr. Sara Cordes. Research in the lab focuses on understanding how infants, children, and adults keep track of quantity and how early abilities relate to later mathematics achievement. We are currently recruiting 3-24 month old infants, 2-17 year old children, and Boston College undergraduates to participate in our studies.

Boston University Child Development Labs
The Child Development Labs are a group of research labs in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Boston University. We work with children from birth to 12 years of age.

The Gaab Lab for Developmental Neuroscience
As part of Boston Children’s Hospital’s Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience, our research focuses on children diagnosed with or at risk for various developmental disorders, particularly language-based learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia).

Harvard Laboratory of Developmental Studies
At Harvard’s Laboratory for Developmental studies, we are interested in how … early learning happens and how it changes over time. By studying how children think and learn throughout development, we can gain a better understanding of how the adult mind works. Studying cognitive development also has practical applications, allowing parents and educators to help children learn better and helping create better interventions for children with developmental disorders.

Lab for Infant + Toddler Language at Emerson College
The goal of our lab is to learn more about early language and communication in children. We are currently enrolling children between the ages of 4 and 6 with a previous diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Lurie Center for Autism Research
The Lurie Center for Autism is involved in collaborations with basic science researchers from around the globe to discover the fundamental causes of autism.  At the Lurie Center, our Lexington based clinic that provides clinical care and clinical research, we offer children and adults with autism spectrum disorders an opportunity to participate in clinical research that provides unprecedented access to new and promising treatment options.
