Brief description of study

Are you or someone you know the mother of a young child (12-24 months)?  JOIN OUR STUDY!
 
Researchers at Purdue University are inviting volunteers to participate in a research project called Play and Learning Across a Year (PLAY).  We want to learn more about what babies do at home.
 
Participation involves a one-time study visit that takes place in your own home. Mothers will interact with their child during the entire visit.
 
Approximately 1,200 infants and children (age 11-25 months) will participate in this project across the United States and Canada.
 
With your help, we hope to learn more about the factors that affect human learning and development.
