Durham Developmental Group

The developmental group at Durham University work with parents and children to help understand key questions in children’s cognitive development. As a thriving research group we investigate a variety of exciting areas, such as how children develop sensorimotor skills, their ability to navigate space and avoid obstacles, as well as how they develop social and emotional skills.

Participating is fun for the children, but also very safe. We work with children from infancy all the way through to adulthood. When children take part in any of the projects they are always fun and in the form of a game. It is also a great way for children to learn about science. Alongside this, it provides valuable results in research devoted to understanding children’s cognitive development.
