A researcher may transcribe responses or record information such as where you or your child is looking. Data will not be used to identify you or your child. The results of the research may be presented at scientific meetings or published in scientific journals, but no video clips will be shared unless you allow this when selecting a privacy level.\n\nRaw data may also be published when it can not identify children; for instance, we may publish children’s looking times to the left versus right of the screen, or parent comments with children’s names removed. We may also study your child’s responses in connection with his or her previous responses to this or other studies, siblings’ responses, or demographic survey responses. We never publish children’s birthdates or names, and we never publish your demographic data in conjunction with your child’s video.",
