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.

We 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.

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]).

    • The address is: Bradbury Oak House, 4 Underhill Road, SE22 0AH
    • "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
    • Is this the home for the blind and partially sighted at the south end of Underhill? 
    • Sorry, yes, you can park but it's unlikely you will find a space. I meant to say 'you can't park with any certainty' - and if you go past Stradella Road getting back to where you can park is a bit of a bind.
