Hello, stranger. I don't know who you are, but I'm a U3 Psych & Econ double major. The MIDC's great! I'm piling on tons of practical knowledge. And the babies, they're adorable! Research topics that pique my interest: Theory of Mind, the development of irony/sarcasm and humor in children, the existence of a moral utility function, bilingual first language acquisition, TMT, and some other stuff. I don't like peanut butter, pineapple, or popcorn, but I do like alliteration.

I am currently going into my 3rd year of my BA in psychology at McGill with a minor in Behavioural Neuroscience and Anthropology. The aspects of the environment that are processed and retained in infants are topics that especially interest me. I believe this research experience will better prepare me to pursue a career in Clinical Psychology, which is my desired field.

Hello, I am starting my second year at McGill wt a major in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. My interests include the development of cogniive and psychosocial processes in children. As such, the way children interact with their environment and how it influences then in return particularly fascinates me. As a volunteer of the MIDC, I am happy to be part of a dynamic and deidicated team with whom I have the opportunity to explore the many aspects of cognitive research.

Hi, I am a half French, half American U2 student majoring in Psychology and minoring in Behavioural Science and Education. I am seriously considering going into a Child Development Masters program following my graduation at McGill and I believe that this research opportunity at the MIDC will help me in deciding what I would like to do in the future. So far, I love the responsibility volunteers are given and I am having so much fun working with my fellow research assistants and of course the adorable participants. 

My name is Jessica and I am in my third year at McGill. I am majoring in linguistics and minoring in psychology. I am particularly interested in first and second language acquisition and bilingualism. I am very excited to volunteer at the lab this semester and experience research first hand. I love working with kids and I am excited to work with them during the school year. In the future, I plan to pursue a career in either research or speech pathology. ‬

I am currently in my second year here at McGill studying Cognitive Science. I am excited to be getting some hands on experience with research in Dr. Onishi's team. My main goal is to work with children in speech-language pathology in the near future and I am hoping to acquire relevant experience at MIDC. I believe child development is fascinating and that there is a lot in the field that is just waiting to be discovered. ‬

Hello people, I am a U2 student at McGill University and I am a native French speaker. I am majoring in Psychology with a minor in Behavioral Science and Linguistics. I have been a volunteer at MIDC since winter 2012 and I am proud to now be a project student. MIDC offers me the opportunity to do a research about children's language acquisition. If everything goes well, I would like to pursue my graduate school as an audiologist. Actually, I desire to work with children the rest of my life.

Hi! I’m Katherine and I'm presently in my second year of studies at McGill University, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Behavioural Science and Linguistics. My interests include language and cognitive development. I especially love working with kids and I’m fascinated with their cognitive and language development. In the future, I hope to further pursue my education in Speech Pathology.

Ciao! I recently flew in from the Netherlands where my passion for children's cognitive and linguistic development was ignited. After completing my BA's in Linguistics and Italian Language and Culture with honor I felt like the time was right to broaden my knowledge on how psycholinguistic research with children is conducted on the other side of the ocean. One of the main questions I'm interested in is how a bilingual and a monolingual development differentiate from each other. Aside from that, I'm very eager to learn more on how infants perceive and deal with the input they receive in the world. Therefore I feel very lucky to have the possibility to work with the inspiring and ambitious researchers at the MIDC. I adore children a lot, especially when they are multilingual! 

 

I am currently in my third year at McGill University, majoring in Psychology and minoring in World Religions. I am interested in learning about how children come to perceive the world and their cognitive development, so I am excited to be part of this research team. After completing my BSc, I would like to continue my studies in medicine. Besides what I study, I am from Tokyo, Japan and my hobbies include traveling, basketball, scuba diving and paying the guitar.   

Hi! I’m Chloe, currently in the second year of my BSc in Psychology with a minor in German. I’m thrilled to be part of the MIDC team; I’m looking forward to gaining research experience and helping advance our knowledge of cognitive development in infants and toddlers. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and I am excited to have the opportunity to do so here at McGill. I am particularly interested by memory development in children.

Hi! I'm Isabelle and I am passionate about psychology, research and children… which makes this lab the ideal place to start getting involved in the field! As a student from Quebec who attended CEGEP, I am currently in my first year as an undergraduate student at McGill, majoring in psychology with a minor in Sexual Diversity Studies. In the future I hope to do a Masters degree (and eventually a PhD!) in psychology. Ideally, I would like to do both research and work in the field. I am very excited about this opportunity to join the MIDC team and look forward to learning more about research!

I am a third year McGill student majoring in psychology and minoring in linguistics. I am very excited to be volunteering for MIDC this semester as language and cognitive development have always fascinated me. This will no doubt be an amazing opportunity for me as I can increase my knowledge through hands-on research experience while fulfilling my love for children. Following my undergraduate degree, I hope to study speech & language pathology. 

I'm in my last year of undergrad at McGill, majoring in Cognitive Science with specialization in Linguistics and minoring in Psychology and East Asian Language and Literature. At MIDC, I investigate infants' abilities to use linguistic and non-linguistic cues for speech segmentation. I'm also currently working on a project that examines Korean syntax through Korean adult speakers' judgments on sentences with ambiguous meanings. In the future, I hope to pursue graduate studies in experimental psycholinguistics. I'm excited to be back for my third year at MIDC!

Hi, my name is Tom and I am a U2 undergraduate student at McGill doing my major in Cognitive Science with a minor in philosophy. I find the brain fascinating and language in particular is an area I find particularly interesting. I joined the MIDC team in order to gain some valuable research experience and also to get a hands on view of how research happens. I hope to continue my studies and research beyond an undergraduate degree. Here at the MIDC I work on the adult studies.

I am currently completing my BA in Psychology with minors in Behavioural Science and Social Studies of Medicine. My main interest is to work with children in a clinical setting. I'm, therefore, looking to expand my knowledge on child-based research, which would help me learn and understand more about the field of child psychology. Aside from that, I love interacting with kids and observing how they acquire knowledge of the world around them. For these reasons, MIDC is a perfect fit for the type of exposure I need to pursue my professional goals. 

Hi! My name is Cybelle and I'm entering my third year as a psychology major at McGill. I'm very excited to be a volunteer at the lab. Child development is fascinating and there is so much to learn. It is very important to gather knowledge about the cognitive aspects and language of developing children and also of adults. The project I'm involved in concerns more specifically sound patterns and language development. In the future, I wish to study clinical psychology and use the tools I gathered through research experience to help those with abnormal development.  

Hi! My name is Gabrielle and I am a U2 student, majoring in psychology. I just started volunteering and am very excited to be part of the MIDC CDEM team! I hope that my experience as a volunteer will help me know more about the basics of research and help me find what I do and don't like - in general, I hope it will make me learn more about myself as a psychology student. It's a new challenge for me, but so far it looks promising! I am particularly interested in childhood disorders such as autism and ADHD, as well as the general development of the neural system. After I graduate from McGill, I hope to get into graduate studies, though I am still pretty indecisive about the precise program.
