Get Involved

We are about to re-start a lot of new projects in January 2025 and our current studies include:

  • Early Toy Play and Imitation

cropped-p1080599.jpgAn early toy play study taking place in the lab. This study started a couple of years ago before a couple of us went on maternity leave,  and we are looking for our last few participants.

The study is for 5-7 month old infants. If you take part in the study, you, the parent, will be present with the researcher and your baby for the entirety of the session. The session can be arranged at any time to suit your schedule, will be under an hour, and we will give you £10 to cover your travel expenses and a Baby Scientist Certificate as a thank you. Parking outside the lab will also be provided. 

For more information please contact Dr Vicky Lovett on v.e.lovett@swansea.ac.uk or 01792 295270.

An information sheet and informed consent form for the study can be found here.

A study on older adult’s use of objects is taking place in the lab during the year 2024/2025. This study started in 2020 but was unfortunately put on pause as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The study is now up and running again, and is actively seeking participants, particularly those who are 65 years or older. This research is funded by Swansea University and the Welsh Graduate School for the Social Sciences, in partnership with the Economic and Social Research council. This research has received ethical approval from Swansea University.

If you would like to take part or have any questions please contact:
