The study has three main objectives:a) to investigate whether autistics can achieve normalized levels of language processing when receiving explicit attentional instructions. b) to study if (and if yes, how) an instructed attentional change towards…
The aim of the study is to provide Dutch norms for the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd edition (Bayley III; Bayley 2006), including a reliability and validation study.
The main objective of this project will be to increase our knowledge of the neuronal basis of attentionalproblems in neurodevelopmental disorders, espacially ADHD and autism spectrumdisorders (ASD). Our findings will contribute to the development of…
The primary objective is to investigate how autistic adolescents integrate multisensory information within the temporal domain. The following assessments will be made:Experiment 1: Perception of audiovisual temporal synchrony (an audiovisual…
To study the relation between face processing and activation in cortical pathways in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The two primary objectives are to test the hypothesis that (1) structural and functional abnormalities of the fronto-striatal circuits are related to the development of compulsive and impulsive behaviour in ASD and OCD; and that (2) the glutamate…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate defeasible inference in ASD in order to obtain more insight into the reasoning capacities of ASD patients. This study is part of the NWO-project Reasoning and the brain.
The overall aim of this study is to identify developmental deficits in children with Rolandic epilepsy. If developmental deficits are observed, we hope to determine timing, persistence, and prognostic factors for developmental deficits and improve…
Original study:The proposed project will examine the effect of social learning in typical developing adolescents, by including brain structure, function and behavioural modelling in a typical developing age group.The main goal of this study is to…
- To investigate the long-term outcome of the intervention strategy for FGR (induction of labour) that is worldwide applied after the original DIGITAT study, in relation to induction of labour versus expectant management.- To investigate…
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…
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether adolescents with ASD, compared to healthy controls, show difficulties in generating and updating predictions about an unfolding action sequence. Using Eye-tracking (ET) and…
Investigation on white matter integrity in autism with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging
We aim at performing a thorough analysis of structural and hodological (i.e. connectional) properties of white matter in autistic patients, at the level of resolution allowed by diffusion-weighted MR images. This will include an analysis of…
The aim of this study on the one hand is to gain insight into: 1) the effects of a PE program for older adults with (suspected) ASD in terms of knowledge and recognition of ASD and traits, a better acceptance of the diagnosis,…
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether there are differences in the way factors such as learning progress (LP) maximization and prediction error (PE) minimization drive the exploratory behavior of children with autism compared to…
