Oliver John Braddick, FBA, FMedSci (16 November 1944 – 17 January 2022) was a British developmental psychologist who researched infant visual perception.
[3][4] Braddick gained a BA (1965) and PhD (1968) in Experimental Psychology at Trinity College, Cambridge.
By 1976, Braddick was an active member of the Cambridge Visual Development Unit, along with Janette Atkinson, his wife.
In July 2012, Braddick was elected as a Fellow of the British Academy for his contributions in the field of visual perception and its development in early childhood.
[11][12] In addition to working on infant vision, Braddick and colleagues showed that adults attempting to grab a glowing item in the dark had a longer reach duration, lower average speed, as well as lower peak speed versus the same situation in the light.[13][importance?]
