[00:00:03.577]Do it.
[00:00:05.013]Do it.
[00:00:05.729](bell chiming)
[00:00:08.544]Yay, you did it!
[00:00:10.144]You waited 'til I rang the bell.
[00:00:12.139]We're interested in how children
[00:00:13.836]develop self-regulation.
[00:00:15.736]And while we know a lot of information
[00:00:18.316]about self-regulation in school-aged children,
[00:00:20.815]we don't have as much information
[00:00:22.476]on its earliest development in very young children.
[00:00:26.032]Self regulation is really a critical skill
[00:00:28.970]that young children need when they go to school.
[00:00:31.370]And we're also looking at sleep habits
[00:00:34.168]as another indicator of self-regulation.
[00:00:36.808]And so we invite children to the lab
[00:00:38.848]when they're two-and-a-half-years-old,
[00:00:40.908]and we see them when they're two-and-a-half,
[00:00:42.568]three, and three-and-a-half-years old.
[00:00:44.628]And we interview the child, and the parents
[00:00:47.408]in their home.
[00:00:48.608]They come to the lab,
[00:00:49.588]and they do a series of lab tasks,
[00:00:51.448]and then in week three we go to their homes,
[00:00:53.768]and observe bedtime.
[00:00:55.676]We're also looking at children's brain processing
[00:00:58.967]while they're engaged in the self-regulation task.
[00:01:02.345]The research that we're doing
[00:01:04.145]has implications for understanding
[00:01:05.785]how the brain processing is involved in the self-regulation
[00:01:09.485]that we're specifically targeting.
[00:01:11.883]This facility is just unparalleled,
[00:01:14.201]in terms the different types of technologies
[00:01:16.681]that are available that we can ask for help
[00:01:19.741]to bring into the research that we're doing here.
