Children aged 2.5–4.5 years old are invited to take part in an eye tracking experiment to understand how narratives help children focus.

Narrative processing is a crucial part of how we understand the world, so by observing children watching cartoons, we can learn more about this element of early learning.

This experiment from the Institute for the Science of Early Years & Youth takes roughly 25 minutes, and involved children wearing an eye tracker while watching cartoons.

Hooray, you’re coming for free! Why not give a little back and donate today?
