In addition to the above, my Cognitive Development Lab provides internships for about 12-15undergraduate students per semester and summer. Students are required to complete twosemesters or one semester and a summer during which time they are trained in basics of researchwith either infants or preschool children, and occasionally with special populations such asautism and Down syndrome. The intern body is highly diverse ethnically with a preponderanceof females. Over my time at Rutgers, I estimate that over 200 undergraduates have thus passedthrough my lab. Outstanding interns are eligible for Honors Thesis research; in this case studentsusually work in the lab for extended periods (up to 3 years) and work closely with me on theirown research projects. My honors thesis students have a good record of attracting fellowshipfunding, publication, and going on to graduate school. I believe that my lab is a useful teachingresource for undergraduates, especially in the context of a very large state university.
