Comparing executive functioning in children with or without ADHD or ASD

We want to learn more about how executive functioning differs between children with ADHD, ASD, or neither. Children will complete an iPad base measure of executive functioning and complete various tasks while their brain activity is being monitored using EEG. We will also complete a short eye-tracking task. Parents will fill out different forms to get an understanding of each child's developmental history and current behaviors.

What will be asked of you

At the visit you will meet with members of the study team and fill out several questionnaires about your child's behavior. The study also involves your child watching a series of videos while tracking where they look in the videos. Lastly, the study includes several tasks that your child will complete while wearing an EEG cap to monitor brain activity. We may also ask you if you and your child would like to be contacted about future study activities.
