subtitle A global consortium of developmental researchers

ManyBabies (MB) is a collaborative project for replication and best practices in developmental psychology research. Our goal is to bring researchers together to address difficult outstanding theoretical and methodological questions about the nature of early development and how it is studied.




Projects

The broader goals of ManyBabies come together in a set of collaborative projects. They are organized in main projects (either empirical or methodological), spin-off projects, and secondary analyses. Below is a list of our main projects, together with their affiliated spin-off projects and secondary analyses. More info is available on the Projects page.

Empirical Projects


MB1 logo
Do infants prefer infant-directed speech? Do age, method, and native language background matter?
Spin-offs: MB1A, MB1B, MB1G, MB1L, MB1N, MB1T, MB1SA


MB2 logo
Do infants show anticipatory looking that reflects the false belief of another agent?
Spin-offs: MB2P, MB-ManyWebcams, MB-ManyTrackers


MB3 logo
Do infants learn and generalize identity-based rules from speech stimuli?
Spin-offs: MB3N, MB3L, MB3P, MB3T


MB3N logo
What are the neural correlates that inform whether and to what extent rules’ processing and learning are abstract, rule-based, and/or language specific?


MB4 logo
Do infants prefer agents who are seen to help over those who are seen to hinder?
Spin-offs: MB4E, MB4I, MB4P


MB5 logo
What factors shape infants’ preferences for familiar and novel stimuli?
Spin-offs: MB5-Meta, MB5N


MB6 logo
What is the nature of neonatal infants' imitation of gestures?


MB7 logo
How does curiosity guide exploration and learning?


MB8 logo
What is the nature of early childhood screen use around the globe, and how is it related to language and socio-emotional development?
