GREEN BAY - UW-Green Bay’s Language Learning Lab is once again looking for local parents interested in having their children ages 3-5 years participate in a major study of toddlers' skill and language development.

Prof. Jennifer Lanter of Human Development is asking parents with young children to consider volunteering for a visit. Participation is easy, with only a single 30- to 45-minute session in which the parent gently guides his or her child through a few simple play exercises. Participants (the children, anyway) get a free book or toy as a parting gift. Lanter and/or one of her student research assistants will observe.

If you have a child between the ages of 3 and 5 and a willingness to play games for science, contact Lanter; email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , or sign up online at the project website, http://www.uwgb.edu/learnlab .
