First Test at Harvard

Today Adam and Ashley participated in an infant developmental study in Elizabeth Spelke's lab at Harvard University.  This particular study looks at how infants perceive the concept of social conformity.  Dr. Spelke's lab has been written about in the New Yorker.  Both enjoyed the experience.  Adam and Ashley follow in the footsteps of their father, a long-time fan of cognitive studies conducted in William James Hall.




The study offers a small gift to participants.  To underscore the value of social conformity, Mystic Lake Mama selected matching Harvard shirts for Adam and Ashley to wear.  Mystic Lake Daddy loves them!
