Description

Everyone wants this! It'd expand the measures we could collect from kids (natural search/exploration, interactive games, etc.) greatly. My impression is that it'd be a bit complicated to make sure everything worked smoothly across mobile OS/browsers, plus we'd need to start designating some studies as computer and some as tablet (or phone?) since these devices won't be so good in most cases for collecting infant looking data. This should happen after phase 2 for a variety of reasons. Because this is a separate and substantial block of work, ideally we might be able to find a collaborator to provide funding specifically for this piece.
