TALBY Project
Predicting language development in babies
If you could spot a child who was likely to have speech difficulties when they were only six months old, you could change the course of that child’s life.
This is the motive for the Take a Look at Baby (TALBY) project, one of a number of studies by UEL’s Institute for Research in Child Development (IRCD). TALBY uses cutting-edge eye-tracking technology to predict social, language or attention difficulty at a very young age. Such problems can lead to poor outcomes in later life, and the earlier they are identified the easier it is to help.
