MB4: Social Evaluation

31 labs from 15 countries have officially signed up, pledging to collect data of at least 638 infants! The number has reached our goal to reach 80% power to compare the Social to the Non-Social condition (Nmin = 500). The sign-up number for the individual differences spin-off project has also made a breakthrough and reached at least 358 infants.

We are still recruiting more labs to increase the power of our Bayesian analyses and the diversity of our sample. Join us!
