In the last couple of years my main interest is understanding decision making of children and adults with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Of major concern is the tendency of individuals with ADHD toward risk taking. With other researchers and clinicians we started to reveal some of the characteristics of ADHD-related risk taking, including the prevalence of risk taking, the potential harm of maladpative decision making, moderators of the relation between ADHD and risk taking, as well as cognitive and motivational processes underlying that relation. To examine different hypotheses we use self reports of real-life risk taking, as well as laboratory behavioral economy tasks. Recently I moved from a clinical neuropsychology career to an academic position at the learning disabilities program of the school of education. By doing so, I hope my future research will combine the clinical experience accumulated in the neuropsychological work with the academic, theory-driven laboratory experimentation.
