Overview

We investigate typical and atypical developmental trajectories of attention and control at multiple levels: from early cognitive development to adult functioning, the neural circuits involved, the genetic and environmental factors constraining their development. The projects listed below employ a combination of these approaches. Follow the links for further information on each.

Development, attention & perception

• Trajectories of attention to visual, auditory and multimodal stimuli

• Developing colour cognition

Development of cognitive control and its neural basis

• Development of cognitive control and its temporal dynamics

• AD/HD, inhibitory control and motivation

Cognition and genetics: links through development 

• Cognitive and behavioural outcomes of children with an extra sex chromosome

• Tracing trajectories of cognitive development: The impact of attention profiles on precursors of literacy and numeracy

We are also very active in putting together training workshops on these topics, aimed at researchers, practitioners and parents:
