Our research focuses across the lifespan and the Division’s Child Study Centre/LuCiD group is home to Developmental Psychologists working on children’s conceptual understanding, curiosity-driven behaviours, socio-cognitive development, sociality and cooperation, reasoning, and language and communicative development. The Division also has strong research links with clinicians in Neurology, Neurosurgery and Mental Health.
