Family and Development Lab

Welcome to the Family & Development Lab at Providence College! At the Family & Development Lab—affectionately known as FamDev—we have recently concluded our most recent wave of a developmental psychology video project. Thank you so much to all the families who participated and made our work possible! Using the content we filmed, we are creating a library of high-quality videos demonstrating common developmental psychology tasks and concepts with infants and young children.

Interested in participating in a future project with the FamDev Lab? You can register your family and we’ll send you details about opportunities your family qualifies for as they become available.

What Do We Do?

Our work wouldn’t be possible without families like yours! At the Family & Development Lab, our video project aims to capture children’s thoughts, feelings, and actions at various ages, and how these change over time. To help us do so, we rely on families in our community to participate in our projects. With help from families like yours, we can learn so much about child development through activities like games, engaging in conversations about everyday topics, and simply telling us about what you think.

Sound like fun?  Register your family.
