Fun rocket themed study running again during October half term for children between 6 and 12 years

[Goldsmiths InfantLab]

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 ([email protected]) to find out more or book a slot.
