Introduction
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may be characterized by different profiles of visual attention orienting. However, there are also many inconsistent findings emerging from the literature...

Background: The two most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders—Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism (ASD)—(ASD/ADHD) strongly impact individuals’ functions. This is worsened when individuals are undiagnosed and risks such as in... Read More about Risks Associated With Undiagnosed ADHD and/or Autism: A Mixed-Method Systematic Review.

Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 8(1), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-021-00959-0

Background: In the UK, children with high levels of hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention referred to clinical services with possible attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often wait a long time for specialist diagnostic assessment. Pa...

A comparison of simultaneous and sequential visuo-spatial memory in children born very preterm (2021)
Journal Article
Retzler, J., Johnson, S., Groom, M. J., & Cragg, L. (2021). A comparison of simultaneous and sequential visuo-spatial memory in children born very preterm. Child Neuropsychology, 28(4), 496-509. https://doi.org/10.1080/09297049.2021.1993808

Research suggests that children born very preterm (≤32weeks’ gestation) are at greater risk of impairments in information processing (particularly when information is presented simultaneously rather than sequentially) and visuo-spatial short-term and...

Heart Rate Variability in Children and Adolescents with Autism, ADHD and Co-occurring Autism and ADHD, During Passive and Active Experimental Conditions (2021)
Journal Article

Heart Rate Variability in Children and Adolescents with Autism, ADHD and Co-occurring Autism and ADHD, During Passive and Active Experimental Conditions. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52, 4679-4691. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-021-05244-w

Despite overlaps in clinical symptomatology, autism and ADHD may be associated with opposite autonomic arousal profiles which might partly explain altered cognitive and global functioning. We investigated autonomic arousal in 106 children/adolescents...

What is the Effect of Stimulus Complexity on Attention to Repeating and Changing Information in Autism? (2021)
Journal Article
Arora, I., Bellato, A., Gliga, T., Ropar, D., Kochhar, P., Hollis, C., & Groom, M. (2022). What is the Effect of Stimulus Complexity on Attention to Repeating and Changing Information in Autism?. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52(2), 600–616. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-021-04961-6

Slower habituation to repeating stimuli characterises Autism, but it is not known whether this is driven by difficulties with information processing or an attentional bias towards sameness. We conducted eye-tracking and presented looming geometrical... Read More about What is the Effect of Stimulus Complexity on Attention to Repeating and Changing Information in Autism?.

Is autonomic function during resting-state atypical in Autism: A systematic review of evidence (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Theories of differences in resting-state arousal in autistic individuals are influential. Differences in arousal during resting-state would impact engagement and adaptation to the environment, having a cascading effect on development of a...

Using drift diffusion modeling to understand inattentive behavior in preterm and term-born children. (2019)
Journal Article

Objective: Children born very preterm are at increased risk of inattention, but it remains unclear whether the underlying processes are the same as in their term-born peers. Drift diffusion modelling (DDM) may better characterise the cognitive proces... Read More about Using drift diffusion modeling to understand inattentive behavior in preterm and term-born children..
