Computer games for user engagement in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) monitoring and therapy (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craven, M. P., & Groom, M. J. Computer games for user engagement in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) monitoring and therapy. Presented at International Conference on Interactive Technologies and Games (iTAG) 2015

State-of-the-art computer games and psychological tests for symptom monitoring and therapy in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are explored and reviewed. Three foci for research studies are identified: task (human performance) focus; e...

Morphological abnormalities in prefrontal surface area and thalamic volume in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (2015)
Journal Article
Batty, M. J., Palaniyappan, L., Scerif, G., Groom, M. J., Liddle, E. B., Liddle, P. F., & Hollis, C. (2015). Morphological abnormalities in prefrontal surface area and thalamic volume in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, 233(2), 225-232. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pscychresns.2015.07.004

Although previous morphological studies have demonstrated abnormalities in prefrontal cortical thickness in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), studies investigating cortical surface area are lacking. As the development of... Read More about Morphological abnormalities in prefrontal surface area and thalamic volume in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Differential modulation of the N2 and P3 event-related potentials by response conflict and inhibition (2015)
Journal Article
Groom, M. J., & Cragg, L. (2015). Differential modulation of the N2 and P3 event-related potentials by response conflict and inhibition. Brain and Cognition, 97, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bandc.2015.04.004

Background: Developing reliable and specific neural markers of cognitive processes is essential to improve understanding of healthy and atypical brain function. Despite extensive research there remains uncertainty as to whether two electrophysiologic...

Snappy App: a mobile continuous performance test with physical activity measurement for assessing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Young, Z., Craven, M. P., Groom, M., & Crowe, J. A. (2014, June). Snappy App: a mobile continuous performance test with physical activity measurement for assessing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Presented at 16th International Conference, HCI International 2014, Heraklion, Crete, Greece

A Continuous Performance Test (CPT) was incorporated into a smartphone application (App) to measure three symptom domains associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. The App was pilot tes... Read More about Snappy App: a mobile continuous performance test with physical activity measurement for assessing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Impulsivity and drinking motives predict problem behaviours relating to alcohol use in University students (2013)
Journal Article
Jones, K. A., Chryssanthakis, A., & Groom, M. J. (2014). Impulsivity and drinking motives predict problem behaviours relating to alcohol use in University students. Addictive Behaviors, 39(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addbeh.2013.10.024

Aims: This study used a four-factor model of impulsivity to investigate inter-relationships between alcohol consumption, impulsivity, motives for drinking and the tendency to engage in alcohol-related problem behaviours.
Methods: 400 University stu... Read More about Impulsivity and drinking motives predict problem behaviours relating to alcohol use in University students.

Motivational incentives and methylphenidate enhance electrophysiological correlates of error monitoring in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (2013)
Journal Article
Groom, M. J., Liddle, E. B., Scerif, G., Liddle, P. F., Batty, M. J., Liotti, M., & Hollis, C. (2013). Motivational incentives and methylphenidate enhance electrophysiological correlates of error monitoring in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 54(8), https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.12069

Background
Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are characterised by developmentally inappropriate levels of hyperactivity, impulsivity and/or inattention and are particularly impaired when performing tasks that require a hi...

Task-related default mode network modulation and inhibitory control in ADHD: effects of motivation and methylphenidate (2011)
Journal Article
Liddle, E. B., Hollis, C., Batty, M. J., Groom, M. J., Totman, J. J., Liotti, M., Scerif, G., & Liddle, P. F. (2011). Task-related default mode network modulation and inhibitory control in ADHD: effects of motivation and methylphenidate. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 52(7), 761-771. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2010.02333.x

Background: Deficits characteristic of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), including poor attention and inhibitory control, are at least partially alleviated by factors that increase engagement of attention, suggesting a hypodopaminergic...

Indices of heart rate variability and performance during a response-conflict task are differently associated with ADHD and autism (2002)
Journal Article
Bellato, A., Arora, I., Kochhar, P., Hollis, C., & Groom, M. J. (2002). Indices of heart rate variability and performance during a response-conflict task are differently associated with ADHD and autism. Journal of Attention Disorders, 26(3), 434-446. https://doi.org/10.1177/1087054720972793

Objective. We investigated autonomic arousal, attention and response conflict, in ADHD and autism.

Method. Heart rate variability (HRV), and behavioural and electrophysiological indices of performance, were recorded during a task with low and hig... Read More about Indices of heart rate variability and performance during a response-conflict task are differently associated with ADHD and autism.
