 "We
love coming to the DUCK lab at UNCG. Both of my children (Caroline, now
age 7 and Claire, now age 4) have participated in several studies and
love coming to "play games" with the student researchers working here.
It is both fun for them and rewarding for us! As parents, we feel good
about contributing to the ongoing research about child development and
learning that is happening here."
-Susie Connelly
"Both of my children--Olivia, who is now 8, and Isabella, who is now 6,
participated in studies at the DUCK Lab. Olivia participated first in
the train study about four years ago and then in several additional
studies. Isabella has participated in a number of memory studies. As an
English professor, I believe in the value of pure and applied research,
and as a parent, I'm particularly interested in studies about the way
children learn and remember. I liked being able to support research at
UNCG, while also exposing my children to the kind of work done by
social scientists. My girls enjoyed the "game playing" aspect of the
studies, and they were pleased with the little prizes they earned for
participating."
-Karen, UNCG Professor
"Madison (my four year old daughter) has enjoyed her sessions with your
staff. We look forward to future appointments. I do appreciate the
interest and time you have taken with her. Being a sole parent, I am
always open to any suggestions/observations you have on her
development. Thanks for this opportunity."
-John Crane
"Three of my children, Jacob (7 yrs), Isaac (5 yrs) and Adam (3 yrs)
have participated in studies through the UNCG DUCK Lab over the past
few years. I was pleased to have a convenient opportunity for my family
to be involved in ongoing child development research. I found each
experience to be positive for myself, as well as each of the children
who participated. Each of the students we interacted with at the Lab
were professional and informative as well as kind and gentle with my
children. Finally, each time we left the children said they had
FUN!...and you can't beat that!"
-Emily Wammock, parent of four
"My son Roman and I have enjoyed the fun games and challenges presented
to us at the DUCK Lab. We have both felt very comfortable with the
staff and the environment. Roman has never expressed any concerns
regarding the questions or games that he's been asked to complete. From
my perspective, I've never felt that my confidentiality has been
compromised. The staff have always been extremely professional and have
explained the reasons for the questions asked of me. Scheduling our
appointment has always been quick and convenient and of course no visit
would be complete without a reward at the end from the prize box for
Roman's willingness to participate... always the highlight of our
visit."
