Internal models of stimulus-response and action-outcome associations in ADHD
Dr. Kerstin Krauel
Dr. med. Max-Philipp Stenner
During normal development, children learn to refrain from prepotent response tendencies and to choose or withhold actions on the basis of likely action-outcome contingencies instead. Important prerequisites for this ability are intact sensory motor regulation, feedback processing and to model consequences of our own actions. In project A03, we will examine these fundamental aspects of human action in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using established behavioural paradigms in combination with electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging.
