Things to Do - Cornell Infant Studies

I had seen some flyers around at local hospitals and doctors' offices about the Cornell Baby Lab research while I was pregnant, and thought it would be interesting to try a couple of times. I have been actually called in a quite bit more than I expected since the baby turned six months (or old enough to sit up); about every three months.  The first experiment was a sound test, where they put the baby in a Bumbo seat, and tested her reactions to sounds and lights. Then when she could crawl, they wanted to know what kinds of things she would prefer crawling to. There is actually two different baby experiment programs, one is by the Department of Human Ecology. I do feel that the Baby Lab has a better facility, and that the students are probably working at the graduate level, because they seem to have their act more together there, when it comes to communication, directions, etc. But all in all, I am glad I participated in each, I just like seeing my child put through strange, weird, and wacky situations and seeing how she'll react to them.
