I-LABS Roundtable: Children as consumers
The next I-LABS Roundtable is on 2/27 is called “Children as consumers: The case of Croatia (EU), presented by Ružica Brečić. She is from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, EU. Consumer research recognizes developmental differences in information processing among children of different ages. The fact that most children experience media and marketplace as part of their daily lives—and that consumption … Read More
How babies’ brains process touch
Through the use of safe, new brain imaging techniques, UW researchers provide one of the first looks inside the infant’s brain to show where the sense of touch is processed — not just when a baby feels a touch to the hand or foot, but when the baby sees an adult’s hand or foot being touched as well. I-LABS researchers, … Read More

New Research on Pitch Perception
Pitch is an aspect of sound that is important for understanding speech, enjoying music, and listening in noisy places. People with hearing loss often have impaired pitch perception. This is especially true for people who use cochlear implants. Poor pitch perception can affect people’s ability to enjoy music and hear what others are saying in noisy places. Scientists are still not … Read More

Op-Ed on Early STEM
I-LABS research continues to explore gender stereotypes. Recent findings suggest that gender stereotypes can be reversed through experience. I-LABS researchers Sapna Cheryan, Allison Master, and Andrew Meltzoff looked specifically at the stereotype that STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) are for boys, not girls. They asked 6-year-olds to report who is better at robotics, programming, math, and science. The majority … Read More
New Outreach Module: Early STEM Learning
The Outreach team is excited to announce a new module on early STEM learning (science, technology, engineering, math). I-LABS research scientist and Hearst Fellow, Allison Master developed the module. The Hearst Fellowship Program brings the scientific expertise of I-LABS researchers together with the translation and dissemination skills of the outreach team. Through the fellowship, I-LABS researchers communicate their scientific knowledge into easy-to-understand … Read More
