To relate exposure markers of EDCs to health outcomes in children - in particular obesity and neurobehavioral disorders -, effect biomarkers, and other parameters via multiple regression and multivariate analysis, while taking into account relevant…
Original study:The goal of this study is to have a theoretically based understanding of how sub processes of self-concept development emerge in relation to each other. The primary objective is to test a neuroscientific model of self-concept…
Description of cognitive, psychiatric and neuroanatomical profile in adult women with triple X syndrome compared with a group of healthy controls on average of the same age and of the same IQ. IQ is considered as a potential confounder and treated…
We aim to determine the effects of a face to face and a blended parent training program (i.e., two formats of Behavioral Parent Training Groningen; BPTG) on behavior problems for children 4 through 12 years old with ASD and behavior problems.…
To assess in paediatric patients with ASD with and without (first-time) antipsychotic medication• the prevalence and incidence of insulin resistance and other metabolic abnormalities• the risk factors for insulin resistance and other metabolic…
In this study we use a unique paradigm which can be used to examine both high-level (serial dependence) effects as low-level (adaptation) effects. By doing so we hope to resolve the discrepancy in the previous findings. We expect that low-level…
The main objective of our study is to disentangle the factors that determine the quality of life in children and adolescents with intellectual developmental disorders and psychiatric disorders, and in the process, develop a more systematic and…
The main objective of the current study is to examine whether people with ASD have over-active inhibitory inter-connections in visual processing areas that can account for their over-sensitivity to perceptual dissimilarities.
Aim1. To investigate the long-term effects of early detection and intervention of hearing loss on the development of children with congenital bilateral hearing impairment. 2. To define factors in early childhood that are able to predict…
The objective of this study is to know more about the relationship between cognitive copingstrategies and anxiety and depression. This knowledge is helpfull in development of treatment for anxiety and depression in ASD.
Our primary objective is to investigate the development of structural and functional connectivity in autism and ADHD in comparison to the typical development of connectivity. A secondary objective is to investigate the effects of ADHD and autism…
To investigate the short-term effectiveness of a 4 month manualized home-based behavioral treatment for referred children with ADHD, aged 6 to 13 years, who have responded insufficiently to first line treatment with medication or behavioral parent…
This study has two main objectives. One objective is to investigate which cognitive and affective mechanisms can be influenced through treatment which leads to improved social functioning. We will use a carefully selected set of behavioral,…
To study the relation between face processing and activation in cortical pathways in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The main aim of the current study is to specify neurocognitive mechanisms behind rigid behaviour in autism. For this reason, participants will be required to execute a computer task, in which they will need to make their own choice of tasks, during…
The main objective of this study is to measure executive functions at two levels. First we will compare the results of neuropsychological testing in elderly with autism and compare these findings to elderly without autism. Secondly we will compare…
The purpose of this study is to test whether perceptual expectations modulate V1 activity consistent with *hypo-priors* in autistic individuals.
