Study Title:  Investigating Vision in Children: Does Your 4-5 Year Old Wear Glasses?

Description: This study explores how children sense the position of their eyes using signals from their eye muscles (a sense called proprioception). Understanding this may help us learn more about certain vision problems. Here is a video description of the research: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RsiCYHwcZDc

Who:   We are recruiting 4- and 5-year-old children (who wear glasses) to take place in this study.

Where:  This study takes place in person, in the ABC and Vision Labs in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience main building. 

Time: This study takes approximately 1 hour

Incentive: As a thank you, your child will receive a small gift of their choice (a book or a science kit and some stickers) at the end of the session, and you’ll receive a £5 Amazon e-gift card for taking part—regardless of your child’s performance.

If you would like to take part, please email [email protected], with the study title above, and we will get back to you.
