## Protocol ##
This directory includes coding templates and instructions for using the experimental materials and coding templates. Deviations from standard protocols should be recorded in each lab's supplemental method section.
Note: Because different locations may have different practices for when children begin schooling, it is very important that all labs are recruiting based on the child's age. We recommend the age calculator, which is a free web-based tool from Pearson, to ensure that all labs are calculating age in years and months in the same way. It can be found here:
