Catherine Davies - grant success

Dr Davies awarded grant to join the international project 'Many Babies'.

Congratulations to Cat Davies who has been awarded 2000USD to join the international project Many Babies. The project is funded by the Association of Psychological Sciences and Cat will examine babies’ preference for infant-directed vs. adult-directed speech by eye-tracking 20 babies later this year. The project’s main aims are to assess reproducibility of key findings in this area, to quantify sources of variability in experimental findings, and to create standards for best practices in developmental research. The work builds on resources developed by undergraduate students throughout 2016/17 as part of the research placement module FOAR2000.
