Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | We discovered that even basic properties of the visual system are learnt in early life, but the extent to which they are adaptable in later life have been exaggerated. |
| Exploitation Route | The findings inform rehabilitation and development research, as well as basic perception research. |
| Sectors | Education,Healthcare,Other |
| Description | They have been used to promote further research and also to inform philosophical debate. |
| First Year Of Impact | 2009 |
| Sector | Education |
| Impact Types | Cultural,Societal |
| Description | Brain Games and Psychology Conference events in partnership with Techniquest |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | Participation in an activity, workshop or similar |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | Regional |
| Primary Audience | Schools |
| Results and Impact | We are involved in Cardiff University Brain Games - and outreach program for inspiring school children to take an interest in psychology and neuroscience. We have led an arm of this partnering with Techniquest to run events for A level children (about 300 children so far). Previously Brain Games was entirely aimed at primary schools. |
