Bergelson Lab
Harvard University's Laboratory for Developmental Studies
The Bergelson Lab (aka
BLAB
) is a part of the
Laboratory for Developmental Studies
group within the
Department of Psychology
at Harvard University. We are located on the 11th floor at William James Hall.
We study infant word learning, in particular how infants’ early linguistic and environmental input plays a role in their learning. We focus on understanding how babies learn words from the visual, social, and linguistic world around them.
The BLAB moved to Harvard from Duke University in 2023.
And it moved to Duke in 2016 from the University of Rochester, where it finished data collection in July 2016 for a longitudinal study called
SEEDLingS
(
