Seeking infant scientists to help with exciting research at Goldsmiths InfantLab

[Goldsmiths InfantLab]

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.

Done this with both kids (there's pics of Bugglet on the wall there as she was the "face" of the lab for a while :-)

The guys there are so lovely they make you v welcome & the babies love it.

Good to know they're still going - DD was an infant scientist 10 years ago! Highly recommended from me too.

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.
