About the ADHD and Decision Science Lab

 

The research focuses on the mental processes underlying decision making of children and adults with attention deficit & hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Using behavioral economic conceptual framework, we started to reveal some of the characteristics of ADHD-related risk taking, including the prevalence of risk taking, the potential harm of maladaptive decision-making, mediators and moderators of the relation between ADHD and risk taking. To examine different hypotheses we use self-reports of real-life risk taking, as well as laboratory computerized gambling tasks.
