Para nuestro proyecto, estamos estudiando una evaluación del desarrollo infantil que pueda hacerse a distancia desde la casa de la familia. Esta se llama "Evaluación del neurodesarrollo con ayuda de los padres" o "PANDABox", según su acrónimo. PANDABox se ha usado con familias que hablan inglés, pero no se había traducido al español hasta ahora. De modo que hay dos razones por las que estamos haciendo nuestro estudio: primero, traducir la evaluación al español; y segundo, probar la evaluación con familias latinas con bebés que podrían beneficiarse de una evaluación del desarrollo. Después de probar la evaluación, les preguntaremos a las familias cómo fueron sus experiencias y si tienen alguna sugerencia para mejorarla. En general, esperamos mejorar la evaluación PANDABox en cuanto al idioma y la cultura de las familias que hablan español.

In this study, we want to learn if wearable technology can be used to assess interactions between grandparents and grandchildren.

This three-hour study involves completing an attention task on the computer while you receive different types of electrical stimulation depending on when you visit the lab. You will complete 1 attention task multiple times during each one-hour visit to the lab. During this time, you will receive electrical stimulation for 20 minutes total while performing the attention task. This will result in 3 visits each lasting 1 hour each. This study will allow us to understand how the brain processes attention. Please contact hlmorgan@live.unc.edu if you have any questions or concerns.
