Bilingual Did/Will

PARTICIPANT REQUIREMENTS: 3-7 years of age; Male and female; Bilingual children Only

PURPOSE: We are interested in what children understand about words related to time.

LENGTH: The study consists of one 1-hour session

PROCEDURE: In a session, we may ask your child to imitate some sentences, and we may ask your child to choose items or pictures from miniature scenarios. In the imitation game, we ask the child to repeat sentences that we have said, such as, "the cow drinks the milk." In another game, we might show the child two pieces of paper and say that we want to fold both of them. Then we fold one piece of paper and ask the child either, "Show me the one I did fold" or "Show me the one I will fold."

BENEFITS: Each child who participates receives a stuffed animal at the end of the session.
