Language Evolution, Acquisition and Development
Research @ Newcastle University

This is the home of customised online experiments for the LEAD research group at Newcastle University. We also do lots more, and are affiliated with Newcastle's LingLab. Click below to learn more about the research done at LEAD, or see our current experiments.

Current Experiments

Below are some experiments that you can try. If data collection is ongoing, this will be clearly marked on a consent page. For other experiments data collection may have closed, and this is only a demo version.

Because it's generally better for participants in research not to know much about the research itself, we generally won't post information about results and research aims here unless the research is complete. If you're curious about the aims of an experiment, there are debriefs at the end that explain things a bit more.
