I
did my undergraduate studies at Universidad Nacional
Autónoma de
México in Psychology, focusing on cognitive development and
neuroscience. I am interested in the development of early social
abilities, such as the processes involved in understanding the behavior
of others, which are important for social interactions.

My
name is Tamara
and I am a third year student attending Univeristy of Toronto
Mississauga specializing in Psychology but with a focus on abnormal
development. I am from Montreal and therefore continue to come back for
the summers since it reinforces my interest for languages. I have
always had a soft spot for children and now I feel very fortunate that
I am able to work with them. My work at the MIDC has provided me with
opportunities that reinforce my love for child psychology and I am
excited to find out where it brings me!

I'm
completing my fourth year at McGill as a Psychology major with minors
in Behavioural Science and Management. At MIDC I'll be
completing
an undergraduate research project and providing support for an ongoing
study. My research interests include cognitive development
and
language acquisition in infants and adults. As a monolingual
I
have always been jealous of those who can just "pick up" a new
language, so my long term goal is to develop evidence-based methods of
teaching second languages more effectively. Outside the lab
many
know me as the Co-Editor-in-Chief of Leacock's Online Magazine.
|
|
I
am currently completing my BA in Psychology with minors in Linguistics
and Educational Psychology. My research interests include learning and
memory in children, as well as language acquisition. Working at the MDC
had provided me many opportunities to both closely observe and work
with children in order to strengthen my understanding of their
behaviour. Not only had this been a valuable experience towards my
academic life, but it has also been a rewarding experience in my
personal life. In the future, I would like to continue my studies in
Educational Psychology or Applied Child Psychology. |

am presently in my second year of studies at McGill University,
majoring in Psychology and minoring in Education. I am interested in
learning and actively participating in the research of infants'
perceptual and cognitive development. I am also curious about the
difference that exists between a child and an adult in the process of
observing, learning, understanding and thinking. Volunteering in MIDC
will give me a chance to experience research in the field of Psychology
and I have no doubt that this opportunity will help me in the near
future as well. |

I'm
a second year undergraduate student majoring in psychology and minoring
in sociology and behavioural neuroscience. I love children and I always
wondered if I would like to work every day with them and their parents,
so the MIDC is offering me a great experience to see if I would be able
or not. I know that this research will give me great experiences in the
research domain. I hope to study clinical psychology with more emphasis
on social psychology or in sports psychology.

| I
am currently in my third year at McGill University, majoring in
Cognitive Science with focuses in psychology and philosophy. I am
interested in the developmental processes that children go through and
to what extent each factor in their lives effects their mental, social
and physical development. MIDC is offering me great insight into how
labs study different aspects of development and I hope to apply my
experiences in this lab to my own research in the future. |

Hi,
my name is
Olivia and I am currently completing my BA in Psychology with minors in
Behavioural Neuroscience and Sociology. I am very excited to be part of
the MIDC team this summer and look forward to learning more about the
perceptual and cognitive development of infants. I love children and
have always been fascinated with what they are able to acomplish from a
very young age. While volunteering for the MIDC, I am looking to
perfect my analytical and observational skills in the hope of
eventually pursuing a career in Couseling or Educational Psychology.

Hello
there! I am in my first year at McGill, satisfying my curiosity about
human behaviour and society by double-majoring in Sociology and
Psychology. I am delighted to be part of MIDC and to work with such a
great team! I am persuaded that MIDC will grant me excellent research
experience as it will also allow me to develop different observational

I
am completing my third year at McGill University with a major in
Psychology and a minor in Interdisciplinary Life Sciences. I am
interested in early childhood development and developmental
psychopathology. I aim to continue my studies in educational and
counseling psychology, working with developmentally delayed children.
From my work at the McGill Infant Development Centre I hope to expand

Linguistics at Concordia University, in addition to my already acquired
B. Sc. in Biology. My research interests include language acquisition
in infants, as well hearing loss and its effects on reading development
and comprehension in children. My future endeavours include pursuing
graduate studies in Audiology, as well as working with infants and
children who experience hearing impairment. I’m glad to be a
part
of the MIDC team and look forward to working alongside supportive
faculty members and students, all while gaining valuable research

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.

Bonjour, je commence ma deuxième année
à McGill avec une majeure en psychologie et une mineure en
sociologie. Mes intérêts se centrent surtout sur
le développement cognitif et psychosocial chez les enfants.
Entre autres, la façon dont les enfants interagissent avec
leur environnement et comment celui-ci les influence en retour me
fascinent particulièrement. En tant que
bénévole du CDEM, je suis ravie de faire partie
d’une équipe dynamique et
dévouée avec laquelle j’ai
l’opportunité d’explorer les aspects
divers de la recherche cognitive.
|
|
Je complète présentement mon Bac en
Psychologie avec des spécialisations en Sciences du
comportement et Études Sociales de la Médecine.
Mon intérêt principal concerne le travail avec des
enfants dans un environnement clinique. Par conséquent, je
suis intéressée à
développer mes connaissances sur la recherche
pédiatrique. De plus, j’adore interagir avec les
enfants et observer comment ils acquièrent leurs
connaissances sur le monde qui les entoure. Pour ces raisons, MIDC est
un environnement idéal pour le type de savoir que je
désire pour poursuivre mes objectifs professionnels.

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.

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 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.
