| I
am a fourth year student in the Bachelor of Arts and Science program at
McGill, majoring in Cognitive Science, and minoring in Anthropology.
Since high school, the way humans learn language has intrigued me. I
love having this opportunity to learn about infant development through
experience in the lab and not just in class. After graduation I plan on
going to graduate school to become a speech language pathologist. In my
free time I enjoy reading, singing, word games and being a couch potato. |
|
I'm
majoring in psychology and minoring in sociology, in my final year, and
I am leaning towards an interest in clinical psychology and motivation,
although I'm not 100% sure about this yet. I enjoy volunteering at the
MIDC and have worked with a lot of cool people here and I hope to
continue while I play out my McGill undergrad life. |

|
| I
am currently taking courses in linguistics and psychology at McGill. I
am excited to learn more about language acquisition in children and
gain hands on experience in a research setting. Eventually I plan on
going to graduate school to become a speech language
pathologist. |
|
I
am in my last year
of a Bachelor of Music Performance with a Major Concentration in
Psychology. I hope to continue my studies in either speech
pathology or music therapy. Working at MIDC has
given me the chance to gain research experience and work with
kids! It is a great environment to learn outside of the
classroom at McGill. When I’m not studying or
playing the violin I like to go to concerts, shop and hang out with
friends. |

|
| I
am in my final semester in Bachelor of Arts and Science, double
majoring in Psychology and Political Science. I hope to one day be a
Child Psychologist! I have been a Mcgill Cheerleader for the past two
years and in my spare time, I love to read, hit the gym, play with my
chinchilla and save the world (in no particular order). |
|
I
am a U3 Psychology
student with a minor in Science for Arts Students. In the future, I
would like to pursue research in either social, cognitive or health
psychology. So I guess you could say I’m interested in
narrowing down my interests! The MIDC is an opportunity to be part of a
great research team. I have much to learn from those around me. When I
am not in an academic setting, I enjoy playing sports, especially
ultimate frisbee, and just spending time with good friends. |

| Hey!
I’m
Nella and I’ve just started my 3rd year at McGill. My major
is in Psychology and my minor in History. I have worked with kids
before, and when one does there are a lot of questions that come to
mind. I’ve gotten curious as to what triggers various skill
and emotion acquisition in children of different ages, and
that’s why I’m in this lab. Other than child
development, I’m also interested in experimental, cultural
and social psychology. Outside of the academic environment,
I’m more of an artsy person. When I have some free time, I
like to play or listen to music and write or read fiction. |

My
name is Hannah
Whelan, and I am an undergrad student in my fourth year at McGill,
majoring in Psychology and minoring in Anthropology. I enjoy working
with MIDC because I’ve always loved children (and have worked
extensively with them over the years), and relish the chance to learn
more about speech and language acquisition and early childhood
development. After graduation, I hope to complete my Masters in Speech
Language Pathology and continue working with young children in this
field. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, listening to music, and
hanging out with my friends. |

|
| I
am a third year
science student majoring in microbiology and immunology. What brings me
to this lab is my love of children combined with my passion for
science. Volunteering in this lab brings about the more human
side to science while making it enjoyable and hands on. When
I finish my undergraduate degree, I hope to pursue the more molecular
side of people and the brain. When I’m not in
school, I love to read, bake, and spend time with my friends. |
|
Hi. I'm
Andreea and this is my last year at McGill, majoring in Psychology and
Political Sciences. Working at the lab has been an eye
opening experience for me. Besides, seeing all the cute
babies come in, I am learning a lot about developmental psychology
first hand, working closely with a wonderful team, and [hopefully]
improving my french. After graduation, I plan on getting a graduate
degree in clinical psychology. When I'm not studying, I like to
draw/paint, play piano, get competitive in sports and travel. |

| Hello,
my name is
Nhu An. I am happy to volunteer in the MIDC because I am learning a lot
and I like to work with others who also love children. It's fun to be
part of experiements. Right now I am a tutor, but I am really looking
forward to start graduate studies. I am interested in doing a Master's
degree in counselling psychology. I enjoy traveling, reading , writing
and doing arts and crafts. Also, I have a great time playing sports and
board games with my friends and family. |

Hey,
I’m Claude! I’m a fourth year student at McGill,
majoring
in psychology and minoring in sociology. I’m really enjoying
my
experience at MIDC, and hope to use the knowledge and skills I acquire
here in order to eventually pursue a career in either clinical or
research psychology (this has yet to be determined). I’ve
taken
some really interesting classes in child development, but I am also
fascinated by psychopathology. I look forward to learning more about
infant psychology and working more closely with the team here at MIDC. |

Hi. I'm
Ana and this is my second year at McGill, majoring in Psychology and
minoring in Life Science. Thus far, I am enjoying my experience at MIDC
very much. Every day there is a new challenge, whether it is improving
my French or learning about a new study. I really enjoy working with
the team and learning more about developmental psychology. In
the
future, I am interested in pursuing either clinical psychology or
cognitive neuroscience, but I still have a few years to figure things
out. Outside of school, I enjoy photography, listening to
music,
playing badminton and watching movies.

Hi!
I’m Sarah-Claude, a U2 student majoring in psychology and
minoring in communication studies. I have taken many courses in
linguistics and infant development, and now that I get the chance to
participate in studies with infants this knowledge mean much more to
me! I really enjoy working in MIDC because I have an endless love for
kids and it gives me a direct opportunity to learn from them. In the
future I hope to go to graduate school to eventually become a
psychologist.

I
am a U2 student at
McGill, midway through the completion of my BSc, majoring in
psychology. This is my first semester working at MIDC and I
absolutely love it! I am passionate about learning and
gaining experience in the field, as I believe it will be an excellent
stepping stone to my future pursuit of a career in Speech
Pathology. MIDC allows me to put many of the theories and
concepts that I’ve read in textbooks into practice.
Best of all, I get to interact with babies! When
I’m not in class or at the library, I enjoy dancing, hanging
out with friends and shopping! |

| Salut
!
I’m Camille and I’m in the process of completing my
second year of university, but my very first at McGill! I am
a BASc student enrolled in the interfaculty Cognitive Science program
with a minor in Social Studies of Medicine. My
ongoing experience at MIDC has proved itself a wonderful complement to
the knowledge imparted upon me by McGill professors; I’m
perpetually fascinated when I’m able to witness for myself
the phenomena about which I could only otherwise read. I
adore volunteering and currently also spend a few hours a week at the
Montreal Neurological Hospital. An avid explorer, I love to
travel, meet new people with whom I can exchange experiences, and taste
unfamiliar foods. |
|
I
completed my BASc
at McGill last year, doing an interfaculty program in Cognitive Science
and a minor in Chemistry. I’m looking forward to spending
this year coordinating the MIDC and getting a chance to learn more
about research in developmental psychology in the process. Eventually,
I hope to continue my studies in either Cognitive Science or
Neuroscience. In the meantime, I’m happy to get to spend
another year in Montreal cooking, running and spending time with my
friends! |

| Hi!
I’m a 3rd year Bsc student, majoring in Psychology and
minoring
in Physics. I am wonderfully glad to have entered this lab, where
cooperation and knowledge meet. The dynamic of the MIDC lets
us
explore facets of learning in children which are greatly interesting,
especially to someone like me who enjoys uncovering cognitive
mechanisms. Throughout this year, I will be involved in
projects
revolving around language, in the hopes of gaining priceless
field-work experience. |

I
am in my U2 year in the Bachelor of Arts and Science program, majoring
in Cognitive Science with a minor in Cell/Molecular Biology. During
this semester, I hope to discover more about how infants segment speech
sounds. In the future, I plan to continue my studies in Cognitive
Science, integrating the different disciplines in the field. In my
spare time I enjoy swimming, dragon boating, and arts &
crafts. |

My name is Melissa and I just finished my first year at McGill majoring
in Psychology and minoring in Linguistics. In the future, I aim to be a
speech language pathologist. For as long as I can remember, I have
always loved kids so being a part of the team at the MIDC is very
rewarding for me. I get to gain hands on experience working with
children in a lab setting and I get to see the ways in which infants
learn and develop cognitive and language skills. I am also learning a
lot from the people in my team. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming,
spending time outside and hanging out with my friends. |

I’m
going into my fourth year as a student at McGill, majoring in
Psychology with a minor in German. I have always loved working with
kids, and I’m really enjoying my time with the MIDC.
It’s
been a lot of fun, getting the opportunity to see what I’ve
learned in class put into action, and to learn more about developmental
psychology. In my free time, I love dancing, singing, baking, and
spending time with friends. |

| I
am majoring in neuroscience and taking random electives that seem
interesting and fit my schedule. I chose neuroscience because I needed
to work in a field that has enough diversity to satisfy my wide range
of interests and insatiable curiosity. At the moment, I'd say that I'd
like to study the limits of human cognition/power of conceptualization
but that is bound to change so I won't go into any details. |

Hi!!
I'm Julie and I will be starting my second year at McGill this fall. I
am majoring in psychology and minoring in history. I hope to become a
child psychologist in the future and I am really interested in
cognitive development as well as language acquisition and how these two
interact. This is my first semester working at MIDC and I love it!!!
The team is great and I hope to learn as much as can from this
experience. In my spare time I like to read anything that I can get my
hands on and spend as much time outside as I can. |

My
first year at McGill, majoring in Psychology, has proved to be far from
easy; however, it has strengthened my love for this field. More
specifically, I find very interesting the ways in which we have come to
study how we think about thinking, what drives us to interact with
others as social agents; more amazingly, how we can manage to put
ourselves in an another person's shoes (feel what they are thinking and
emphasize with what they are feeling). These, among many others, are
the intricacies involving the best human invention of all: our brain;
an aspect of our anatomy I find extremely compelling. I am really
looking forward to a great and challenging summer at MIDC, working with
an awesome team and learning about new research regarding babies'
cognitive development (babies are the best part of it all!). In the
future, I plan to pursue a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology
(hopefully open up my own practice one day) . Whenever I am not full-on
studying for exams or working I enjoy reading a good book, shopping,
but most of all I love music; especially dancing to it (you could say I
dance to the beat of my own drums!:
).
I am currently in my
3rd year at McGill, doing a BSc with a major in Psychology and a minor
in Economics. Social psychology is my primary domain of interest,
although I am interested in Linguistics; considering the crucial role
that communication plays in interpersonal relationships. I still have
much to learn about research methods, and that is why I am glad to be
part of the MIDC team. I am a big fan of the Montreal Canadiens, even
though I am a disaster at ice-skating. However, I do love playing
soccer, competitively or just for fun. My future goals include
obtaining a PhD in Clinical/Social psychology.
