Inthe depths of Burnett Hall, hidden
behind plain wooden doors, are psy
chology labs filled with fish tanks, rats,
an enclosed apartment and a lab used
to study the development of infants
and young children.
Ross Thompson, assistant professor
of psychology, runs the child lab that
has two playrooms so infant behavior
can be filmed. Three more rooms are
used to analyze the films. People can
film and analyze at the same time, he
said.
One playroom is only a little larger
than a walk-in closet to help infants
feel secure. The other playroom is
larger so older children can move
around, feel less enclosed and interact
with other children, he said.
"r've got the best lab for my needs
that I've seen," he said. The lab was
renovated for Thompson when he came
to UNL' five years ago. The rooms were
built to Thompson's specifications for
a few thousand dollars. He said he also
bought wall hangings to brighten the
rooms and make them appealing to
young children.
The lab has been used on a full-time
basis since it was built, Thompson
said. Several studies usually go on at
once. Graduate students also use the
lab for their studies, he said.
Thompson said his research projects
must be approved by UNL's Ethics
Committee.
Thompson said most of his research
has practical applications. For exam
ple, Thompson said, he is researching
how emotional expressions and differ
ences in expressions develop. He also
studies the security of an infants' att
achment to caretakers, he said. Con
trary to popular belief, Thompson has
found attachment can change in re
sponse to family changes.
Both studies can help parents deal
with their children more effectively, he
said.
Research is funded by the university
and by national or private foundations.
The university also funds small preli
minary projects that are necessary to
get money for major research, he said.
Thompson said he only has two prob
lems with his lab. He said his "state-of-the-art"
video equipment needs regu
lar maintenance. Also, the ventilation
system malfunctions and drops dirt
into the equipment, making the lab
unusable, he said.
Thompson said that despite UNL's
budget and research cuts and dusty
conditions, the benefits of the lab keep
him at UNL
