PARCHISY
PARCHISY = Parent-Child Interaction System
We observe parent-child interactions in home and laboratory settings, and use PARCHISY to "code" those behaviors into a variety of dimensions (emotion, behavioral control, cooperation and conflict) that inform us about parenting, family relationships, and home environments.
PARCHISY is being used in many laboratories around the world.

ESOCS = Engagement States Coding System
We observe school students' engagement with instructional materials in classrooms, and with their teachers and their peers. We use ESOCS to "code" behaviors into a variety of dimensions (emotion, interest, persistence, attention) that inform us about the classroom environment and student learning.
CandySPAN is a digital working memory game that we use in schools to gather information about cognitive factors that influence math learning outcomes.
