Roeljan Wiersema (Department of Experimental Clinical and Health Psychology) and prof. dr. Marcel Brass (Department of Experimental Psychology), and is led by prof. dr. Roeljan Wiersema.
In our studies we want to investigate aspects that are often different in persons with autism, like attention, information processing and social-communicative skills.
