Abstract
The study of infant cognitive and language development has been limited by small samples and the need for in-person visits. The Remote Infant Studies of Early Learning (RISE) was designed to assess early development on a larger scale. The battery includes seven tasks to remotely assess developmental trajectories. This study expands on pilot work with a larger sample and modified methods. Data from 111 infants (55 6-month-olds and 56 12-month-olds) were collected asynchronously. Infant looking behavior was recorded with open-source software. Results for attention, memory, prediction, and word comprehension were consistent with preregistred predictions.
