	How do infants with an older sibling diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder learn from their caretakers? Age Range: 3 - 12 months In a 15-minute study over Zoom, you and your baby will play together with toys you have in your home. Our study aims to research the emergence of joint attention and social contingency understanding in these interactions.
	What do infants think about people who help others? Age Range: 6 - 7 months & 12 - 13 months In a 15-minute study over Zoom, your baby will watch videos of someone who needs help completing a task. One person will help them and another person will not. Does your baby prefer one person over the other? Do they expect that person to interact with the one who helped them or the one who didn't?
	Do infants expect others to be happy about others' accomplishments? Age Range: 10 - 11 months In a 15-minute study over Zoom, your baby will watch a video of two characters. Sometimes these two characters are friends. Do babies expect that one character will be happy when the other character accomplishes their goal?

	Matching Machines! Age Range: 6 - 7 years In this study, we are interested in how children judge the similarity between objects and events! There are many ways to match complex objects, based on how they look or how they work. We are particularly interested in children’s attention to how things work. Will they consider this when matching items? This will tell us more about how children learn about new objects, and what they pay attention to!
	Default effects in children? Age Range: 6 - 8 years In this study, your child will participate in two short studies in one session. In the first study, your child will watch two videos of puppets and be asked a few questions about the puppets' preferences. In the second study, your child will be asked to choose a default option to influence a puppet's choice.
	How do children investigate? Age Range: 7 - 9 years Let’s investigate! In this study, your child will learn about a mechanical toy that lights up for some objects and plays music for others. They will get to decide how to use the machine to find out about some unknown objects, and see what happens!
