Trip to Iowa City

I drive to Iowa City for work most weekdays, but I worked from home today. However, I still had to drive to Iowa City this morning. We went to Iowa City because Emma was taking part in a research study at the Spence Laboratories of Psychology at the University of Iowa. The study had something to do with language development among young children. I didn't really understand the whole idea behind the study, but it seemed to go alright. However, Emma did get a little cranky toward the end of being observed. Fortunately, the whole process did not take very long. In exchange for her participation in the study, Emma received a T-shirt which says "Graduate of the University of Iowa Children's Research Lab." It looks like Emma finally has some Hawkeye clothing.

So, Mr. Mathman...Tell us more about Emma's participation in the study at Iowa. How was she selected to do it and what type of things did the people do with her?

Thanks from a curious Granny.
