Developmental science

CUCHDS 2

We research human cognitive, motor and pro-social development from conception to adulthood.

Our research in developmental science includes cognitive, motor and pro-social development from infancy to adolescence. We also study autism in childhood and adulthood (Wales Autism Research Centre) and the neurobiological basis for antisocial behaviour.

Our research addresses fundamental issues concerning typical and atypical development, as well as reproductive health and health-related behaviours.
