Warwick Research with Kids Group
Welcome!
The Warwick Research with Kids Group (Wa.R.Ks Group) is a team of researchers who study typically developing children's language, communication, and social skills. The research group consists of lecturers, postdoctoral and PhD researchers, and research assistants. All of our studies have received full ethical approval all of our group members members have cleared an enhanced DBS check.
Our studies are designed to be fun and age-appropriate and often involve your child playing a game with a researcher. We also study how parents speak to young babies and if this helps children to learn language. An appointment with us is usually 1 hour or less. Siblings or other family members are welcome to come along to a session. We have babysitting facilities available if needed and we provide free reserved parking on right outside our on-campus facilities for the duration of a study.
How can you take part?
Warwick Research with Kids Group depends on the help of hundreds of parents in the local community who are willing to bring their children along to take part in fun studies on our University Campus. We also have an increasing number of fun online study activities available in which you and your child(ren) can take part from the comfort of your own home. If you have children, from new-born up to 16 years, and have 30-60 minutes to spare to take part in one of our (online) studies, then please sign up to our family database! Once you sign up, we will send you open invitations via email when age-appropriate studies for your child(ren) come up. You can then read the study description and decide whether to take part. We will then book you a study appointment when it suits you.
