The Bedtime Boost Trial is a feasibility and pilot randomised controlled trial of a parent-administered intervention on children鈥檚 pre-bed activities.
Bath Babylab
Our research explores how infants and young children see and interact with the world around them. We're interested in the factors that impact their development.
Our research
We actively research the factors that impact the cognitive development of infants and young children.
The PACS study analyses how differences in pre-school children鈥檚 performance on attention control and cognitive tasks are associated with their behaviour.
Bath Babylab contributes to the TABLET project. This project investigates how infants' touchscreen use impacts their cognitive, brain and social development.
Get involved with our research
Children are like little scientists, testing out their ideas to find out how the world works.
At the Bath Babylab we hope to find out more about how infants and toddlers learn and develop. This will help to increase the scientific understanding of child development, and support parents and practitioners to make more informed decisions for young people.
Our research needs participants. You can get involved by:
- participating in our online studies
- taking part in research studies at our family-friendly Bath Babylab
Are you pregnant or do you have children under 16? We frequently run research studies and public engagement activities that volunteers can take part in.
Why take part
By taking part in our studies, you will:
- learn more about how your child's mind works
- contribute to research that could improve the diagnosis of developmental conditions and improve young people's lives

Our research focuses on typical and atypical cognitive development in infants and children, including attention control and social processing. We also study factors that influence the developing mind, such as screen time and sleep.
The work we do has many potential real-world applications and benefits. These range from the early diagnosis of developmental conditions, through to developing interventions to improve outcomes for young people.
