Sharkubb
Cognitive Development Lab @ UC Berkeley (Jun 2021 – Aug 2021)
About the Study
Sharkubb is one study of a series of studies from the Cognitive Development Lab at UC Berkeley investigating the developmental trajectory of 4-10 year olds’ decision-making during play and goal-oriented situations.
In the study, we played a game with children ages 4-10 years old called Beach Bowling. Children were presented with different aspects of the game (e.g. weight of the blocks) and were asked to decide how to adjust the aspects (e.g. all light, all heavy, or half light and half heavy blocks) in 2 situations (playing for fun or to win stickers).
Responsibilities
I assisted with recruiting families and conducting the study with children at museums, schools, and parks in Berkeley.
