      We have a great nursery at the university itself, where we can do a lot of testing. The parents who send their kids to this nursery know in advance that their children will be used in studies of psychology, and have given their permission beforehand. The children in this nursery play a lot of different games with different psychologist and absolutely love it. Whenever I come in they are immediately asking me “Can I play now?” 🙂

      Besides the nursery at the university, I visit just as many nurseries I need to get the amount of kids needed for my study. This will normally be around 2 or 3 nurseries per study. For each next study, I try to contact different nurseries to make sure I test different kids every time.
