Goldsmiths InfantLab Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Have you ever wondered: ? What infants know about the world around them?? How they learn to take their first steps?? How infants learn to pay attention to some things and not others?At Goldsmiths InfantLab we study these questions and more! We are located within Goldsmiths College (University of London), New Cross. We study children?s cognitive development, with a particular focus on how infants and children learn to perceive and act on the world around them by combining and interpreting their various sensory inputs to control their actions. Our studies take the form of age appropriate games. We use a variety of scientific techniques to investigate children?s cognitive development across a broad age range. Visit our facebook page to see JJ one of our PhD students explain one of these methods, and to see photos from recent lab visits. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=755823867767943&set=vb.172788252737085&type=2&theaterWe recruit infants between 0 and 18 months of age. If you are interested in registering your child, or if you have any questions about the research that we do, then please get in touch with us at [email protected] and we would love to tell you more.

Goldsmiths InfantLab Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 We have had two papers published this week tracking the development of tactile perception in infants (http://www.gold.ac.uk/news/homepage-news/ahands-onapproachcouldhelpbabiesdevelopspatialawareness.php) and children (bit.ly/1oFHEA8). Thank you so much to all the infants, children and parents who made this research possible. If you are interested in helping us with future research then get in touch to find out more ([email protected]).
