Research

The School is based at Earley Gate on the main Whiteknights campus in a purpose-designed building, which offers specialist laboratory accommodation for research.

The Department of Psychology is broad-based with a variety of  research and teaching interests and has a long-standing reputation for excellence in experimental psychology, perception, learning, memory, and skilled performance. In more recent years, research strengths have been built up in the field of developmental psychology, ageing, virtual reality and multimedia interactions. We have a wide range of facilities for experimental, computational and observational research, including a number of specialist laboratories, for example, EEG, ERP, motor skills, virtual reality, 'babylabs', a large observation room as well as a number of smaller, well-equipped laboratory facilities.

The Department of Clinical Language Sciences focuses on research in the area of typical and atypical speech and language acquisition and in acquired speech and language disorders. Facilities include laboratories, a purpose built high quality speech booth and a brand new suite of clinical rooms with excellent observation facilities and audio-visual recording equipment. The emphasis on clinical research is enhanced by links with local NHS facilities and professionals.
