Examining executive functioning deficits, affective deficits, and social functioning to better understand disruptive behaviors and callous-unemotional traits
This research seeks to better understand functioning in children who differ in symptoms of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), conduct problems (CP), and callous-unemotional (CU) traits, ages 6 - 13. Specifically, this research is being done to find out how these different types of behaviors impact cognitive skills (like attention, impulsivity, working memory, emotion identification) and social functioning to help inform future treatment with these children.
