Infant Laboratory
In addition to space dedicated to research with young infants (Toddler Suite), the infant laboratory is equipped with purpose built 'double-video' equipment.
A control room with split screen mixers and time lag facilities links cameras concealed behind angled glass in two separate filming rooms. These facilities allow the recording and display of live and replayed interactions between two people and allows the introduction of time lags within live interactions.
This set up has been used to investigate young infants' sensitivity to contingencies of various kinds, particularly responses to synchrynous and asynchrynous intimate face-to-face interactions, but can also be used for the filming of full face reactions to video-based stimulus displays.
