Throughout October half term we are running a study which is open to children between 6 and 12 years of age. The study is presented as a game in which children are asked to indicate which of four rockets flashed to show that it was running out of fuel. Children place their fingertips onto vibrating pads, which vibrate when the rockets are ready to ?launch?.

Participation in this study will help us to build on our understanding of how children use tactile stimuli to direct their attention. We are interested in what this can tell us about how children keep track of events in the world in relation to their own bodies.

Children are rewarded for participation with stickers, a bookmark and a certificate.

Participation in this study requires a single visit of around one hour to the InfantLab (at Goldsmiths College, University of London, New Cross).

If you have a child within this age range who might be interested in participating then please email (r.thomas@gold.ac.uk) to find out more or book a slot.

  Anyone know what the V7 local is turning into? Saw some guys painting it a teal colour last night which made me think it’s probably turning into another Truepennys haha - hopefully something more interesting

  I agree with Sue here, but it is reasonable to raise a concern - there have been incidents of mass poisoning (from restaurants and cafes, supermarkets and food sellers such as butchers and fishmongers) where early warning (or a lack of it) has had a significant impact. But where this concern has been reasonably raised, but then discovered to be likely misplaced, it is a good thing to obfuscate the retailer identity. Of course, by removing the specificity, this might get later readers to worry that other ice-cream outlets locally were being implicated! Bit of a lose-lose situation really!

  Yes, even just the thread title will stick in people's minds, with the specific cafe mentioned. And they will see it every time they look at the list of threads in this section of the forum. It might be a good idea to change it to remove the cafe name and say something like "a local cafe"?

  Our son really doesn't interact with others much and very rarely gets out, but when he does, an ice cream at the cafe is a favourite treat (even when it's freezing outside). Like yours, it's a single-person data point - in our case, no illness. Bugs can come from anything/anyone - other people are far more likely to be the unwitting carriers, in my view. Having gone there for years and years, never had a concern re the ice cream. And generally do worry about linking an establishment with illness/standards, even as a question as, even subconsciously, the association may stick in people's minds (and if they stop the ice cream, we'll be devastated!).
