One day workshop: Visual attention and eye movements in developmental disorders
On Wednesday 20th March 2013 there will be a one day workshop which will discuss issues related to the study of visual attention and gaze behaviour in neurodevelopmental disorders. The seminar will be hosted by the School of Psychology, Newcastle University.
PROGRAMME NOW AVAILABLE: The programme is now available online http://www.neurodevelopmentaldisorders-seminarseries.co.uk/index.php/semina…
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN: To register for this seminar please follow the link http://neurodevelopment3.eventbrite.com/
TO SUBMIT A POSTER ABSTRACT: To submit an abstract for a poster on any area of developmental disorders please email your abstract to info(a)neurodevelopmentaldisorders-seminarseries.co.uk<mailto:info@neurodevelopmentaldisorders-seminarseries.co.uk>. Abstracts should be no more than 300 words and please provide all details of authors and affiliations. The closing date for poster abstract submission is Friday 8th February 2013.
This workshop is part of a seminar series entitled 'Neuro-developmental disorders: Exploring sensitive methods of assessment across development' which explores recent findings in neurodevelopmental disorders, with a particular focus on 1) the new research tools and methods used, 2) discussion of the wider applicability of these new tools and methods across different neurodevelopmental disorders, 3) identifying future challenges or controversies when studying neurodevelopmental disorders using a developmental approach.
The seminar series hopes to bring together specialists and established researchers as well as post-graduates, post-doctoral researchers and early career researchers in neurodevelopmental disorders. The first workshop of the series, held in June 2012 at Kingston University, was very successful in meeting our aims. We enjoyed an exciting day of talks, which generated some very interesting discussion. The second workshop on 11th January 2013 was a complete sell out and equally engaging.
The series is sponsored by the British Psychological Society and the Williams syndrome Foundation UK and is being organised by Dr Jo van Herwegen, Dr Emily Farran and Dr Debbie Riby.
More information about the seminar series can be obtained from:

Confirmed Speakers and Titles:
Professor Letitia Naigles
Preferential looking reveals both strengths and weaknesses in the language development of children with autism
Dr Marco Hessels (University of Geneva)
Eye movement registration evidences construct validity in dynamic assessment: People with intellectual disabilities can reason by analogy, but you have to tell them to do so.
Miss Hayley Mace (CEREBRA, Birmingham University)
Eye tracking to explore spontaneous emotion discrimination and face processing in ASD, Fragile X syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syndrome and Rubinstein Taybi syndrome
Dr Sue Fletcher-Watson (Edinburgh University)
Eye tracking in infancy: Looking for early signs of autism and atypical development
Dr Mary Hanley (Queens University Belfast)
Tracking the spectrum of sociability: eye tracking evidence from Autism and Williams
syndrome
Dr John Swettenham (UCL)
Two ways to look at attention in ASD: i) Orienting to biological motion and ii) the role of perceptual load in selective attention.
Dear all,
for my master thesis I'm running an experiment on face processing and I was
wondering whether some of you can indicate me whether I can find a set of
faces for the composite faces task (maybe faces already used in other
studies so to be sure that they are well controlled).
Thank you very much for your help
Kind Regards
