▼ Even though people perceive their moral judgements as objective and unbiased, research suggests that they in fact make biased moral decisions that are then rationalized as objective. This project aimed to build on this prior work to further investigate the effect of intergroup biases on judgments of others' morality. In the first line of this project, I aimed to investigate whether or not moral judgments are influenced by group membership where there is no prior information, beliefs, or emotions associated with the target group (i.e., in a minimal group setting). Participants read two versions of trolley dilemmas and judge either ingroup or outgroup targets. Across four experimental studies with minimal groups, I found evidence for group biases, even though the nature of patterns obtained varied. Overall, the findings suggest that group membership has a substantial influence on moral judgments even in minimal group settings, but given the inconsistency between the patterns obtained these warrant further investigation. Then, I aimed to investigate moral biases in pre-existing groups (specifically, men and women) and the role of relevant ideologies (sexism). I specifically focused on the role of a type of sexism that directly refers to women's morality, i.e., benevolent sexism. To further specify the role of sexism in moral judgements, I also varied the moral extremity of the action. The results indicated that benevolent sexism led to more lenient judgements of women who displayed clearly immoral actions, especially among male participants (Study 5). However, the interplay between benevolent sexism and moral extremity was not moderated by target gender, indicating that this effect is not limited to judgements of women's actions (Study 6). In the final study, I aimed to investigate the role of hostile sexism in counter-stereotypical female actions. The results revealed that hostile sexism negatively affected moral judgements of women who behaved counter-stereotypically, but not of men who displayed the same (stereotypically male) behaviour, but this was only the case for female participants.

▼ There is a growing body of literature on driver crash risks in the developed world, but little is known about how well these models apply to motoring in the Global South where the burden of road crashes is greatest. Three studies were conducted to address the behavioural predictors of driver crash risks in Ghana. In Study 1 (Chapter 2), a qualitative approach was taken to explore factors influencing crash risks for commercial passenger drivers in Ghana. Some crash risks that are shared with drivers in the developed world such as fatigued driving and speeding were identified in Ghana too, but their presentation was moderated by the Ghanaian context. Other identified factors such as aggressive competition over passengers and corruption are rarely considered in research addressing driving behaviour in developed countries. Study 2 (Chapter 3) modelled road crash risk for Ghana using the Manchester Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses produced a 24 item 2-factor (violations and errors) model of the DBQ. As evidence of the external validity, both violations and errors were independently correlated with crash involvement and sensation seeking. While the Ghanaian DBQ shows a different factor structure from other research conducted in the developed world, the findings support the usefulness of the measure in characterizing the behaviours underlying crash risk in Ghana. Study 3 (Chapter 4) quantitatively modelled the processes underlying risky driving behaviours for Ghanaian motorists and compared them to a sample of UK drivers. Analysis was guided by a modified version of the Contextual Mediated Model (Sumer, 2003) which proposed a set of distal effects (e.g., personality) on crash involvement that are partially mediated via proximal driving behaviours. Structural Equation Modelling showed that distal factors predicted crash involvement both directly and indirectly through proximal behavioural risks (violations, errors and hazard monitoring) in both Ghana and the UK. The findings from the three studies have implications for road crash prevention policy and intervention design in the Global South.

▼ An increasing number of people are fleeing conflict and persecution in their country of nationality and seeking refuge in countries such as the UK. In fleeing from danger, refugee people often become separated from their family. The right to family unity is recognised by international human rights frameworks; once granted refugee status, refugee people can apply for close relatives from their home country to join them in the UK, through the Family Reunion process. Little is known about how young people experience this process as previous research has neglected their perspectives. This study was developed in consultation with the British Red Cross (BRC) to explore the perspectives of 12 young people, aged 16 to 21-years-old, who were reunited with a separated parent in the UK through the Family Reunion process. Participants had left Syria, Sudan, Ethiopia, Iran and the Ivory Coast and resettled within the UK cities of Glasgow, Leeds and Birmingham. One semi-structured interview was conducted with each participant, with the support of an interpreter when necessary. Qualitative findings based on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis identified three broad themes: Challenges Experienced: "Not easy at all", Novelty of the UK: "You have to adapt" and Supportive Relationships. These themes explore participants' experiences of the bittersweet feelings associated with reunion, navigating adult responsibilities, adjusting to cultural differences, welcoming new opportunities provided in the UK, readjusting to living with their parent and being supported by organisations, such as the BRC. These experiences are used to inform implications for BRC caseworkers, clinical professionals, policymakers and researchers.

▼ The high risk and the intrusive nature of ED symptoms can elicit emotionally driven reactions such as high expressed emotion (criticism, hostility and over protection) and behaviors (accommodation) from close others (Anastasiadou et al., 2014). These responses form one facet of the set of maintaining behaviours which may affect symptoms and duration of illness according to the cognitive interpersonal model on AN (Schmidt & Treasure, 2006; Treasure & Schmidt, 2013). However, less work has been carried out to examine the impact of bulimia and binge eating disorder on family members (parents, siblings and partners) and how their distress and caregiving style will affect the treatment outcome. The first section of the thesis focuses on parental experiences, examining whether intrafamilial factors that are described by the cognitive interpersonal maintenance model, could be manifested in Greek parents of people with eating disorders (BN, AN, BED) and examines any differences in caregiving behaviours between Greek and English parents of people with Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa in terms of psychological distress, expressed emotions and accommodating behaviors. The next part of the thesis focuses on exploring the impact of eating disorder on marital and sibling's relationship and comparing caregiving styles between siblings and spouses of adult patients with eating disorders and people with T1 and T2 Diabetes Mellitus. Cross sectional studies were then conducted to examine the caregivers' experiences in terms of psychological distress, expressed emotions and accommodating behaviors. The third part includes one longitudinal study, examining the applicability of the interpersonal maintenance model on patients with bulimia and binge eating disorder. The findings of this thesis provide further evidence of experiences of all types of carers (parents, siblings, spouses) of people with all forms of eating disorder, (Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder and Anorexia Nervosa) and the applicability of the interpersonal maintenance model on caregivers and patients with Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder. Moreover, findings highlight the role of cultural differences in family functioning which may affect carers 'reactions to illness (particularly expressed emotions and accommodation).

▼ Background: A number of cognitive biases (memory, attention and judgment) have been implicated in the development and maintenance of PTSD. However, people with PTSD stemming from different sources of trauma may present with different symptom profiles. In particular, military personnel are trained to attend to threat, to assess potential risks in the environment and to make rapid decisions about how to act. Cognitive biases may thus be adaptive in the context of deployment. This review aimed to elucidate the extent to which military personnel with and without PTSD demonstrate cognitive biases. Methods: Searches of the databases Embase, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, Medline and Web of Science were conducted. Studies were included if they made specific reference to cognitive biases, were conducted in a military population and involved direct measurement of PTSD symptoms. Only studies published in peer-reviewed journals, in English, and since 1980 (when PTSD became a formal diagnosis) were included. Studies were excluded if they focused primarily on genetic, neurobiological or physiological factors, or if participants were under the age of 18 or presented with traumatic brain injury or intellectual disability. Study quality was assessed using a selection of questions from the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies and the Research Degrees of Freedom Checklist. Results: 21 studies were included for review. The main finding in relation to memory biases was that military personnel with PTSD tend to be overgeneral when describing autobiographical memories. Most studies focused on attentional bias, and generally tended to be of higher quality. Earlier studies involved a modified Stroop task and found that trauma-related words tended to impair performance to a greater extent for those with vs. without PTSD. Later studies used dot-probe paradigms and conceptualised attentional response as a dynamic process, fluctuating between bias towards and away from threat; military personnel with vs. without PTSD demonstrated greater fluctuation. Other studies using visual search tasks and eye-tracking concluded that attentional bias in PTSD is characterised by interference (difficulty disengaging from threat) rather than facilitation (enhanced threat detection). Finally, there was only one study investigating interpretation bias, a form of judgment bias; this found that military personnel with PTSD tended to complete ambiguous sentences with negative rather than neutral endings to a greater extent than those without PTSD. Discussion: This review offers a novel contribution to the literature by examining cognitive biases specifically in the context of military PTSD. The relevance for military populations, methodological limitations of the studies and the review, recommendations for future research and implications for clinical practice are considered.

▼ The revised learned helplessness model postulates a critical role for self-blaming biases in the development and perpetuation of clinical symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD). Causing persistent and excessive feelings of guilt and other self-blaming emotions, a maladaptive attributional style is thought to contribute to depressive symptoms. Current therapeutic approaches are limited in addressing self-blame in MDD, and often patients do not achieve symptom remission or the prevention of recurrent episodes. This is particularly true for MDD patients of the anxious distress subtype. The work presented in this thesis tested the clinical benefits of a novel self-blame-targeting treatment protocol, employing a self-guided psychological intervention with and without additional real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMRI) neurofeedback in early treatment-resistant MDD. Based on the recent finding of guilt-specific hyper-connectivity between the right superior anterior temporal lobe (rSATL) and the posterior subgenual cortex (SC) as a neural signature of recurrence risk in MDD, the single-blind randomised trial presented in this thesis aimed at rebalancing rSATL-SC functional connectivity in MDD, while investigating neurocognitive underpinnings of self-blame. For this purpose, a novel experimental task was developed and tested in anxious and non-anxious MDD patients and healthy control participants. Both interventions, rtfMRI neurofeedback training and the solely psychological intervention, were found to be safe and therapeutically effective approaches, with response rates of more than 55% in both treatment groups. MDD patients of the anxious distress subtype were found to benefit less from rtfMRI neurofeedback training and did not present with self-blaming emotional biases compared with non-anxious MDD. Further, despite resulting in a reduction in functional connectivity between the rSATL and the posterior SC, this change was not associated with a reduction in depressive symptoms. Ultimately, the findings presented in this thesis are only in partial support of the revised learned helplessness model with clearer evidence for its applicability in non-anxious MDD, whereas there was experimental evidence contrary to its predictions in MDD patients of the anxious distress subtype by showing their increased levels of anger directed at others.

▼ Chemical contamination, whether from deliberate or accidental release of harmful chemicals, continues to pose a risk to public health. The 2018 Novichok release in Wiltshire, UK highlights the need to protect the UK civilian population from future chemical contamination incidents. Casualties of chemical contamination need to be decontaminated as soon as possible both to prevent or reduce the extent of adverse health outcomes for the casualties themselves and to reduce the risk that other people will be exposed to the chemical. In the UK, the Initial Operational Response (IOR) protocol was implemented to address the need for fast, early decontamination. It is essentially first aid for chemical contamination. IOR involves casualties evacuating from the area in which the chemical was released, removing contaminated clothing (disrobing), then applying either water or dry, absorbent materials, depending on whether the chemical is known to be caustic. IOR places a lot of responsibility on casualties. They are required to carry out their own decontamination within a short space of time. IOR also places a lot of responsibility on first responders who, in addition to all other aspects of the decontamination process, need to get casualties to adhere to this protocol. This is challenging for several reasons. First, people do not necessarily know that they are contaminated because not all hazardous chemicals result in immediate symptoms on contact. Second, even if people do know that they are contaminated, findings from this thesis and previous studies indicate that not all aspects of IOR are necessarily intuitive to casualties. Third, first responders are competing for casualties' attention with other, potentially more intuitive courses of action, such as presenting at a hospital, which may result in contamination of hospital staff and patients. The aim of this PhD was to determine how first responders should communicate with casualties to ensure that casualties adhere to the IOR protocol, particularly when the risk of chemical exposure is ambiguous due to a delayed onset of symptoms. I based the development of a preliminary communication strategy on: a review of the crisis communication literature; a systematic review of the effect of communication on casualty behaviour in mass casualty emergencies; a qualitative study on how first responders currently communicate with casualties during incidents that require decontamination; and an assessment of lay public perspectives on chemical contamination and decontamination. Findings from these studies indicated that, at a minimum, responders need to provide casualties with: practical instructions for undergoing IOR; contextual information about first responders' expertise in decontamination; and updates about actions responders are taking to treat casualties. I drafted messages that contained this information but varied according to how the threat of contamination was conveyed and whether the effectiveness of IOR was made clear. Messages were tested in an experiment in which…

▼ Anxiety disorders are one of the most prevalent mental health problems for adolescents. Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) training targets information processing biases implicated in the development and maintenance of anxiety in adolescents. The main aim of this thesis is the development and evaluation of methods to boost CBM for anxious adolescents. The thesis first presents findings from a meta-analytic evaluation of eye-tracking studies in anxious children and adolescents; the results demonstrating no difference in vigilance to threat between anxious and non-anxious youth, but a greater overall avoidance of threat in anxious youth. Following this, three experimental studies are presented, evaluating methods to boost CBM in anxious adolescents. The first evaluates a multi-session, combined bias CBM package, targeting biases of attention, interpretation and attribution in socially anxious adolescents. Results demonstrate good acceptability and greater reductions in social anxiety, negative social behaviour, general anxiety and depression following an intervention but not a baseline phase, and a significant correlation between interpretation bias change and social anxiety symptom change. The second experimental study aims to boost attention bias modification by comparing incorporation of an extrinsic motivator, in the form of real-time performance feedback, and the use of real-time performance data to tailor the task to the individuals' optimal rate of learning. Results show an overall modification of attention bias on one measure of attention bias, which did not generalise to an alternative measure, and an effect of initial direction of attention bias on modification outcome. However, no differential effect of training group was observed. The final experiment evaluated the use of neurofeedback (NF), which aims to boost the practice of adaptive emotion regulation strategies by providing real-time feedback of activity from associated brain regions in adolescents. Results showed that individuals unable to acquire the desired pattern of connectivity through NF training displayed greater subsequent social-avoidant behaviour than those who successfully acquired the desired connectivity pattern, as well as reporting a significant decrease in reappraisal ability. The findings are discussed in the context of the wider literature, providing implications for theory and future directions.

▼ Vol. I: Systematic literature review & empirical research project. A systematic review of studies examining autobiographical memory in people with bipolar disorder. Autobiographical memory (AM) is the aspect of memory concerned with the recollection of personally experienced past events. Recent years have seen an increase in research demonstrating that disruptions to normal autobiographical processes play an important role in the onset and maintenance of emotional disorders. The aim of this review was to systematically identify studies that describe the features of AM in people with bipolar disorder. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review of its type. A systematic search yielded seventeen studies that met inclusion criteria. Findings suggest that there is a deficit in the specificity of episodic autobiographical memory alongside relative preservation of other AM features, such as, autobiographical knowledge. Findings point towards the potential utility of cognitive remediation interventions to improve AM in people with bipolar disorder, yet additional research is necessary to clarify the mechanisms upon which such interventions would operate. Vol. II: Clinical case studies & service related project. Who am I? Exploring the relationship between the self and autobiographical memory in people with psychosis. One long-standing theory of psychosis is that it represents a disturbance to the self. In other conditions, impairment in autobiographical memory (AM) has been cited as central to maintaining a disrupted and disordered sense of self. The present research tested the hypothesis that if there is a relationship between the self and AM in psychosis, then recall of an AM should influence the accessibility of self-statements, as has been shown in participants without psychosis. Forty-two people with psychosis took part in the present study; half gave a description of an autobiographical memory and half gave a description of a control topic with no relevance to the self. Next, participants completed the I Am Fluency Task, in which they generated as many self-defining statements as possible within a given time. Measures were also included to explore the relationship between memory and other aspects of the self, as well as between the self, AM and psychological well-being. Findings showed that people with psychosis were able to generate self-statements and were most likely to conceptualise themselves in relation to positive trait self-knowledge, yet there was no benefit of AM recall on the accessibility of self-statements. Findings lend support to the idea that the process of grounding the self in AM might be disrupted in psychosis.

▼ Background: In order to advance and build on the recent boom in mobile and web-based interventions for individuals with psychosis, a better understanding of current levels of adherence and predictors of adherence to mobile and internet interventions is required. Method: This paper systematically reviews rates of adherence, dropout and approaches to analyzing predictors of adherence to newly developed mobile and web-based interventions for people with psychosis. A systematic review of randomized controlled trials, feasibility trials and observational trials is presented. We also examine three theoretically proposed predictors of adherence; level of social support present in the trial, level of service user involvement and type of study. Results: All the included studies (n=17) reported a measure of adherence and a rate of dropout. The studies varied in terms of their further analysis of adherence; five studies conducted statistical analyses to determine predictors of dropout, five studies conducted analyses on specific predictors of adherence to the intervention, four administered post-trial feedback questionnaires to assess continued use of the intervention, and two studies evaluated different types of interventions with the aim affecting adherence. Overall the percentage of participants adhering to interventions ranged from 60% to 100% with a mean of 79.5%. There was preliminary support for the three theoretically proposed predictors of adherence; adherence was slightly higher in RCT studies (compared to observational studies), in studies with higher levels of social support and in studies with higher levels of servicer user involvement. Conclusion: Adherence to mobile and web-based interventions is robust regardless of service-user (e.g. symptoms severity) and intervention (e.g. type of technological interface) specific factors. Future studies should consider reporting a universal measure of adherence such as percent of adherence and should aim to conduct complex analyses on predictors that may impact on adherence including social presence, service user involvement and the type of study.

▼ There is a growing support for the conceptualisation of psychopathological symptoms as continuous and dimensional with underlying transdiagnostic mechanisms. Neuroticism has been identified as a transdiagnostic candidate with particular relevance to mood and anxiety disorders. As such, this thesis explored neuroticism in two highly burdensome diseases in this bracket, major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Though a transdiagnostic approach can provide rich understanding, a purely dimensional system has been criticised as reductionist. Therefore, this thesis also explored self-reflection and defensive behaviour as additional lower-level factors in MDD and GAD, to examine potential disorder-specific characteristics in a multi-factor approach to disease. This thesis firstly explores the practical applications of neuroticism as a transdiagnostic factor, piloting a research recruitment tool using self-reported neuroticism to identify individuals with GAD in chapter 3. Neural activation and individual differences in defensive behaviour was explored in chapters 4 and 5, the latter using a sample of individuals with GAD to additionally attempt a pharmacological validation of a human translation of a rodent measure of fear and anxiety. Self-reflection was explored in chapter 6 through the lens of self-criticism and self-perception, as measured by a novel adaptation of a pre-existing tool. Finally, chapter 7 takes these findings beyond MDD and GAD, contextualising neuroticism in the vulnerable dark triad (VDT) of personality. The results of this thesis indicate support for neuroticism as a transdiagnostic factor in MDD, GAD and co-morbidity of these disorders. Neuroticism appears to play a role in maladaptive characteristic expression, as demonstrated by involvement in self-criticism levels across these disorders; further neuroticism as the 'core; of the maladaptive VDT was supported, though findings also indicated that other traits such as agreeableness are likely important. Interestingly, a potential adaptive role for average levels of neuroticism in healthy controls was identified, through a positive association with self-reassurance. Different characteristic expression of self-hatred and self-reassurance were shown in co-morbidity and GAD respectively, highlighting the relevance of lower-level factors in dimensional and transdiagnostic approaches to psychopathology. Identification of anterior insula activation during defensive behaviour was a key finding of this thesis and is discussed in the context of a neural network for transdiagnostic factors in MDD and GAD. The thesis also provides the first systematic review of active defensive behaviour in humans, the findings of which support animal models and prominent theories of defensive behaviour.

▼ Introduction: For the majority of those who leave the Armed Forces, reintegration into society is generally smooth and veterans are more resilient than the public believe. The minority who struggle to adjust to life outside the services report finding it challenging fitting in to post-service life and identity. These individuals often require additional support to truly resettle, which may be provided through third-sector services. There is currently little UK based evidence on the appropriateness and effectiveness of the third-sector provision for the Armed Forces community. There is also limited knowledge on UK military-civilian occupational identity. Methods: This thesis employed a mixed methods approach to address these gaps. The study data came from an independent evaluation of the support provided by the charity Walking With The Wounded (WWTW); Head Start, a mental health programme; First Steps, an vocational support programme; and Home Straight, an employment support programme for homeless veterans. Alongside this, interviews were conducted with beneficiaries of the charity to provide an understanding of the needs/views of both their WWTW and post-military experiences. WWTW aimed to use this evaluation to improve their service provision. Results: The Head Start programme achieved sustained, significant clinical improvement in anxiety symptoms, with significant improvements in functional impairment for those who achieved clinically symptomatic improvement. This was not found for symptoms of depression. Due to low response rates, First Steps and Home Straight could only be evaluated qualitatively. Additionally, qualitative exploration led to the identification of five veteran identity typologies (Transformed Veteran, Civilian Veteran, Enduring Soldier, Lost Veteran and Rejected Veteran), each with varied social and economic outcomes. Findings suggests that acceptance of identity change (influenced by validation, gratitude, military support and group status) contributes to our understanding of the relationship between pre-discharge and discharge experiences/identity and post-military identity. Conclusion: Findings suggest that occupational identity may be crucial for later occupational and societal integration and support services have a vital role in aiding this process (alongside earlier resettlement provision). The recommendations and implications for these findings include, increasing the harmony and collaboration by necessary AF community stakeholders (e.g. charities, government, civilian employers and the AF) to encourage positive transition and acceptance of change. This may include psychological preparation for civilian life and work, both earlier in the discharge process and in later third-sector support for those who continue to find the transition a challenge. The role work readiness and support services play in occupational transition is also discussed.

▼ Perfectionism is a transdiagnostic process associated with a variety of clinical disorders. Although perfectionism has been postulated as being involved in Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), it is unclear whether this association is supported by empirical data and no previous systematic review has attempted to synthesis findings in this field. The aim of the current review was therefore to consolidate published literature that has explored the relationship between perfectionism and BDD. Given the limited literature on BDD patients, this review included studies of the association between perfectionism and appearance-related concerns in analogue samples, unselected samples, and other clinical groups. However, studies that exclusively focussed on body weight/shape concerns pertaining to eating disorders were excluded. Three electronic databases were searched: PsychINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science, returning a total of 1,047 articles, where 41 published articles met the inclusion criteria, utilising 44 independent samples. Only two studies included clinical samples of patients with BDD. The outcome measures used to assess perfectionism and appearance-related concerns were diverse. Nevertheless, 90% of cross-sectional studies reported significant associations between perfectionism and appearance-related concerns. Therefore, in the context of largely cross-sectional data, perfectionism does appear to be reliably associated with appearance-related concerns. The review also demonstrated that Concern over Mistakes (CoM), Doubts about Actions (DaA), Socially-Prescribed Perfectionism (SPP), and maladaptive dimensions of perfectionism were the most consistently related to appearance-related outcomes. These findings need to be considered alongside their limitations. In particular, the vast majority of studies were conducted in unselected student samples, and so it remains unclear whether these findings generalise to patients diagnosed with BDD. Notwithstanding the limitations, the current review highlights the potential role of perfectionism in BDD and the need for further research in this field.

▼ Bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) are psychiatric disorders characterised by recurrent loss-of-control binge eating behaviour, which is associated with the consumption of an objectively large quantity of food for the circumstances. BN is additionally characterised by recurrent inappropriate compensatory weight control behaviours. Both BN and BED cause significant distress and detract from quality of life in affected individuals. To date, however, current treatments do not support full recovery in a considerable portion of individuals with BN or BED, thus highlighting the need for novel treatment approaches which target critical maintenance factors. The current thesis synthesises current evidence for the maintenance of recurrent binge eating behaviour through neural processes related to reward dysregulation and addiction. Based on previous and original evidence, I will go on to propose a new maintenance model of BN and BED and apply this model to a multi-modal investigation of exogenously-administered intranasal oxytocin in adult women with BN and BED. Paper 1 presents a narrative review of empirical literature relating to the dysregulation of reward processes in bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Within this paper, I propose a new theoretical maintenance model of recurrent binge eating behaviour: the "addictive appetite" model. Paper 2 presents an additional narrative review of evidence for the novel elements of the addictive appetite model, including evidence for tolerance and withdrawal effects in BN and a central insulin- and dopamine-mediated mechanism underpinning heightened craving. Paper 3 tests hypotheses stemming from the addictive appetite model, which predicts that craving and reward-motivated eating are central to the maintenance of BN and BED. Paper 3 presents a cluster analysis demonstrating that food craving, reward-motivated eating, and eating for coping purposes significantly distinguish women with BN and BED from age- and weight-matched comparison women. Oxytocin, a neuropeptide and hormone, has previously been found to modulate anxiety and reward processes, which are central components of the addictive appetite model. Paper 4 presents a systematic review and quantitative meta-analysis of the effects of oxytocin on feeding behaviour in both animal and human samples. This meta-analysis demonstrates that a single dose of central or peripheral oxytocin significantly attenuates subsequent feeding in animals, while the effects of oxytocin decrease with chronic administration. The evidence for the effects of oxytocin on feeding in humans is mixed, and moderated by factors including eating disorder status, sex, and food type. Paper 5 tests the functional significance of exogenous oxytocin in altering palatable food intake, subjective stress, and salivary cortisol in women with BN or BED and healthy comparison women without history of an eating disorder. Contrary to our hypotheses, oxytocin did not significantly affect palatable eating behaviour, 24-hour calorie intake,…

▼ Interpersonal callousness (IC; e.g. grandiose, manipulative, low empathy/guilt, shallow affect) designates more severe and persistent antisocial behaviour in youth. However, IC appears to be heterogeneous, based on epidemiological studies. The current thesis sought to investigate this with regard to low prosocial behaviour (LPB) and anxiety. Specifically, four outstanding research questions were empirically addressed using data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, a prospective birth cohort. First, we estimated the relative shared and unique variance underlying IC and LPB at age 13, and compared the resulting factors on levels of childhood risk and psychiatric comorbidity (Chapter 3). We identified a general factor (IC/LPB), alongside a unique residual factor for LPB, with the IC/LPB factor associating with higher levels of prenatal risk, poor parenting, and externalising psychopathology. Second, we followed up these IC/LPB and residual LPB factors by testing prospective associations with early-adult mental and physical health, and nonparticipation in education, employment, or training (NEET; Chapter 4). IC/LPB was indirectly associated with mental (via adolescent delinquency) and physical health problems (via physical inactivity), and was directly associated with later NEET status. Third, we classified and compared low- and high-anxiety IC subtypes on prenatal and early postnatal risk, pre-adolescent psychopathology and school-based functioning (Chapter 5). Co-occurrence of anxiety and IC indexed youth with greater risk exposure and psychiatric comorbidity, and worse academic performance, than their low-anxious IC counterparts. Finally, we compared genome-wide DNA methylation at birth between 'chronic-low' and typically-prosocial children (Chapter 6). Methylation at two sites differentiated these developmental trajectories. Higher methylation at one probe, annotated to the <i>SGCE/PEG10</i> gene, was also associated with lower empathy and greater social-cognitive dysfunction. Overall, current findings significantly advance knowledge of the distinct risk factors and developmental outcomes that can be elucidated based on overlap between, and heterogeneity within, IC and LPB.

▼ Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heritable neurodevelopmental condition that is characterised by social communication impairments, restricted and repetitive behaviours, and sensory anomalies. Anxiety is one of the marked co-occurring psychiatric conditions in individuals with ASD and the underlying mechanism of this co-occurrence has not been fully understood. This is because studies have focused on mid-childhood or adolescence when the interplay between genetic and environmental risk factors make it harder to disentangle the overlap between symptoms of anxiety and ASD. Temperament traits in infancy, especially behavioural inhibition (BI) which is a temperament trait that is involved in the aetiology of the childhood anxiety in the general population, may be an informative target to explore roots of this interplay prior to the consolidation of both disorders. The current thesis employs a multi-method approach to investigate the association between BI and anxiety in two cohorts of infants at high- and low-familial risk for ASD. Participants of Chapter 2 and 3 were drawn from the second phase of the British Autism Study of Infant Siblings (BASIS; this study is complete and outcome grouping is available). In Chapter 2, longitudinal associations between parent-reported BI, effortful control, anxiety and ASD traits were examined using cross-lagged panel models. In Chapter 3, temperament traits were measured during the Autism Observational Schedule for Infants (AOSI; 15 months) by using a new observational coding scheme. Further analyses investigated whether observed individual differences relate to AOSI scores, anxiety and ASD traits at 36 months. In Chapter 4, factor scores for social and non-social BI were generated at 24 months by using observational, parent-reported and global ratings of BI. In Chapter 5, the associations between parental and child anxiety and ASD trait was examined. Participants of Chapter 4 and 5 were drawn from the third phase of the BASIS project. Both parent-reported and observed BI was associated with higher levels of anxiety but not ASD traits. Parental characteristics (anxiety and ASD traits) were related to child characteristics. Overall, these findings suggest that similar to the general population, BI is involved in the aetiology of early emerging anxiety traits in toddlers at risk of ASD. The consistent association between BI and anxiety across chapters suggest that there may be separate developmental pathways for anxiety and ASD. So, BI may provide a translational target for pre-emptive interventions.

▼ The world through which animals navigate is complex and three-dimensional, yet the majority of studies of navigation have been conducted in two-dimensional planar environments. The aim of this thesis, therefore, was to test whether animals are able to represent three-dimensional space, and if so, to determine the manner in which this space is represented in the brain. Behavioural and electrophysiological techniques were employed to answer these questions. In the first set of experiments, the ability of mice to complete working and reference memory tasks on a three-dimensional radial arm maze was compared with their ability on a two-dimensional analogue of the three-dimensional maze. The findings showed an equally good level of working memory in two and three-dimensional mazes, but reduced reference memory in the three-dimensional maze. These results suggest an intact representation of three-dimensional space over short time scales, but impairment in the formation, retention and/or recall of these representations over longer timescales. The second study, using electrophysiological techniques, tested the manner in which the brain represents orientation in three-dimensional environments. A three-dimensional apparatus was developed to test whether head direction (HD) cells encode orientation in a planar, multi-planar or volumetric manner. Head direction cells, which are known to be responsive to spatial orientation in 2D environments, were recorded as rats climbed between different vertical walls on cuboidal climbing apparatus. The findings showed that the HD cell system represents orientation in a multi-planar manner, in which the animal's plane of locomotion and the position of that plane relative to the azimuth inform the firing direction of HD cells. It will be argued in this thesis that the HD system is optimised to allow animals to translate their representation of orientation from vertical planes back to the horizontal plane without the accumulation of heading errors. Together, the findings presented in this thesis suggest that rodent use a multi-planar reference frame to aid navigation in complex three-dimensional environments.

▼ Social hierarchy matters. Although decades of research in social sciences show the important role that leaders play in coordinating group activities, many questions remain unanswered: Who is the highest ranking person in a given situation? When should we pay attention to our leaders? What are the psychological mechanisms underlying social hierarchy? The answers to these questions, as often is the case in science, are complex. My research programme examines the psychological processes underlying the effects of social hierarchy. On the one hand, I study naturally occurring rank differences amongst members from the general public. I examine where paying attention to higher rank matters, comparing the signalling and perceiving of social rank across cultures. On the other hand, I experimentally manipulate rank differences and the social context in which participants of higher and lower rank interact. I examine when paying attention to higher rank matters, showing that looking at higher rank fulfils a dual function, both perceiving and signalling information. I examine why paying attention to higher rank matters, demonstrating that higher ranked individuals efficiently guide onlookers' visual attention in service of the task at hand. Taken together, my research highlights the fundamental influence that social hierarchy exerts over human behaviour and cognition. I will discuss the contributions of my research across disciplines.

▼ In 2015-16, work-related stress, anxiety and depression accounted for approximately 11.7 million working days lost to ill health, explaining 37% of all work-related cases of ill health in the UK and defining the need for organisational risk assessment. However, it is widely acknowledged that current methods used in risk assessments to identify and evaluate occupational stress and its' consequences have considerable limitations. This thesis was concerned with the consideration and evaluation of occupational stress and contemporary measures of occupational stress prior to the construction and piloting of an occupational stress- related Stroop task as an objective indicator of occupational stress in different occupational settings. Previous research has demonstrated robust emotional Stroop interference for colour naming of threat-related stimuli by anxious individuals. Cognitive theories of emotion and attention offer various underlying explanations for why this happens but generally agree that anxiety and similarly stress, elicit an automatic, attentional bias towards threatening stimuli in emotional Stroop tasks. Therefore, it is predicted that the colour naming performance of participants (across a range of different occupations) higher in occupational stress will be inhibited by occupational stress-related words in an emotional Stroop task. Study One was primarily concerned with the construction of appropriate word sets for an occupational stress-related Stroop task. Data from interviews (N = 10), a focus group (N = 7) and self-report occupational stress scales (N = 4) were content analysed to provide a set of 20 relevant occupational stress-related words. Neutral, social threat and physical threat control word sets were also constructed and all stimuli were balanced for lexical characteristics known to affect colour naming times, with a particular focus on word frequency using a British-English frequency list rather than the routinely used American lists. The final occupational stress-related Stroop task contained 80 words for computer presentation in a single word, semi-random sequence, once in each of four colours. Study Two employed the occupational stress-related Stroop task to elicit attentional bias in white-collar workers (N = 80) who were chosen as fairly representative of a substantial proportion of the workforce in the UK. Participants were divided into high (n = 18) and low stress (n = 17) groups based on sources of pressure scores from an established work stress questionnaire which followed completion of the emotional Stroop task. Analysis of colour naming latencies revealed significantly slower times in the high stress group for occupational stress words compared to neutral words supporting Hypothesis One and also in contrast to the low stress group in accordance with Hypothesis Two. Study Three tested the utility of the occupational stress-related Stroop with an opportunity sample of Further Education teachers (N = 15) using the same method as in Study Two to test the extended utility of the task to a…

▼ One of the established findings in the psycholinguistic literature is that semantic ambiguity (e.g., "dog/tree bark") slows word comprehension in neutral/ minimal context, though it is not entirely clear why this happens. Under the "semantic competition" account, this ambiguity disadvantage effect is due to competition between multiple semantic representations in the race for activation. Under the alternative "decision-making" account, it is due to decision-making difficulties in response selection. This thesis tests the two accounts by investigating in detail the ambiguity disadvantage in semantic relatedness decisions. Chapters 2-4 concentrate on homonyms, words with multiple unrelated meanings. The findings show that the ambiguity disadvantage effect arises only when the different meanings of homonyms are of comparable frequency (e.g., "football/electric fan"), and are therefore initially activated in parallel. Critically, homonymy has this effect during semantic activation of the ambiguous word, not during response selection. This finding, in particular, refutes any idea that the ambiguity disadvantage is due to decision making in response selection. Chapters 5 and 6 concentrate on polysemes, words with multiple related senses. The findings show that the ambiguity disadvantage effect arises for polysemes with irregular sense extension (e.g., "restaurant/website menu"), but not for polysemes with regular (e.g., "fluffy/marinated rabbit") or figurative sense extension (e.g., "wooden/authoritative chair"). The latter two escape competition because they have only one semantic representation for the dominant sense, with rules of sense extension to derive the alternative sense on-line. Taken together, this thesis establishes that the ambiguity disadvantage is due to semantic competition but is restricted to some forms of ambiguity only. This is because ambiguous words differ in how their meanings are represented and processed, as delineated in this work.

▼ Telehealth can provide benefits to heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, however large scale deployment is still yet to be achieved. This thesis aimed to investigate what predicts optimal telehealth usage among heart failure and COPD patients. A systematic review found that 32% of patients who are offered telehealth failed to accept it and 20% of patients who did accept later abandoned telehealth. The review also recommended the need for further qualitative work to explore the facilitators and barriers to telehealth in detail. Study 1 explored patients' beliefs and perceptions regarding their ongoing use of home telehealth. Patients described several facilitators of telehealth use relating to: peace of mind, improved self-management behaviour, and better access to healthcare. Conversely, patients also reported how technical problems could become an issue and how they valued face-to-face contact with healthcare professionals. Study 2 consisted of a 'think aloud' study, which assessed the acceptability and face validity of a telehealth acceptance questionnaire, which was developed through the findings obtained from the systematic review and Study 1. The questionnaire was established to have face validity and was found to be acceptable to patients. Study 3 involved a survey study that assessed the reliability and predictive validity of the telehealth acceptance questionnaire. The Self-Report Behavioural Automaticity Index was found to be predictive of telehealth usage compliance, thus suggesting that patients who report their usage of telehealth as being an automatically activated habitual behaviour are more likely to be optimal telehealth users. This work has now led to the development of a valid and reliable tool, which can be used to predict optimal telehealth usage among heart failure and COPD patients who are currently using telehealth.

▼ The United Kingdom (UK) is becoming increasingly diverse, highlighting the need for mental health services to respond adequately to the communities they serve. Previous research highlights ethnic inequalities occurring across a range of mental health services, including psychological services. This suggests that services and practitioners may not be recognising and responding adequately to the culturally informed needs of individuals. The first part of the thesis reports a systematic literature review exploring the impact of culturally competent clinical supervision on psychological practitioners in training. Results found evidence to suggest that highlighting and discussing cultural issues in supervision can positively impact the supervisory relationship and supervisee's satisfaction with supervision. There is preliminary evidence that culturally competent supervision can also positively influence supervisee practice. The second part of the thesis aimed to identify the nature of ethnic inequalities occurring within psychological services in the UK, using routinely collected data. The study aimed to explore ethnic differences occurring at service intake, across therapy outcomes, and across therapy processes. The results found evidence of significant ethnic inequalities occurring at each stage examined. Patients from ethnic minority backgrounds presented to services with significantly higher levels of psychological distress and subsequently had poorer psychological outcomes following therapy. Patients from ethnic minority groups were also more likely to be perceived as having a poorer quality of engagement in therapy. Together the two studies highlight the need to consistently monitor and address ethnic inequalities in psychological services and to systematically ensure cultural competence development is prioritised throughout practitioner training programmes.

▼ Much literature points to the clinical-effectiveness of self-help for common mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety, yet we know relatively little about how self-help is perceived or how it is used, and whether these issues matter when it comes to how effective self-help is. Study 1 presents an analogue study that explores how acceptable self-help treatments for depression are and how severe any perceived side effects are deemed to be. Self-help treatment options, as well as psychotherapy and antidepressant medications were ranked in order of preference. Guided self-help was rated as acceptable for treating depression as psychotherapy. Unguided interventions were rated as less acceptable than psychotherapy or guided self-help. Psychotherapy and guided self-help were rated as the two most preferred treatment options. Study 2 presents a systematic review of rates of engagement with self-help interventions for depression and anxiety in randomised controlled trials, finding, for example, that on average around 66% of the self-help content was adhered to. Study 3 presents an intervention study designed to test an established self-help program in an unguided setting for the first time. Study 3 also seeks to assess whether attitudes and engagement with self-help impact upon efficacy, and whether interventions can be augmented to improve engagement rates and efficacy. Five conditions were examined; standard self-help (received either immediately or after an eight week waiting period), augmented self-help (again received either immediately or after an eight week waiting period) and no-treatment control. Study 3 found that although the self-help intervention was effective in an unguided context, the control group also experienced a decrease in depression symptomology. Attitudes towards the self-help intervention and engagement rates during the intervention did not impact upon efficacy. Augmenting the intervention did not lead to improved rates of engagement or efficacy. However, both experimental groups had very high levels of engagement (over 80%), perhaps limiting the impact of augmentation. Findings from these studies can be used to inform future research and practice.

▼ Sleep benefits both learning and memory, with offline memory consolidation leading to the reactivation and integration of new information into the long-term store. Previous literature further demonstrates an influence of sleep on memory for related but unseen information, termed false memories. However, current findings provide mixed results regarding sleep's role in the formation of these false memories within the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm, with differing memory effects suggested to be due to various task differences. For word recognition, the reactivation of memories during sleep promotes access to the long-term store in the left hemisphere, whereas false memories may lead to equal spread of activation across the two hemispheres. Whether hemispheric processing of memories after sleep affects memories lateralised at encoding, rather than at retrieval, is however unknown. The emotionality of to-be-remembered information also enhances the consolidation effect, with greater veridical memory performance for both negative and positive stimuli. However, the effect of sleep on false memories varying in emotionality is yet unknown. This thesis therefore presents a series of experiments that examine several factors, namely lateralisation and emotionality, that may influence the role of sleep in learning and memory consolidation. In Chapter 2, we conduct a meta-analysis to establish the influence of sleep on veridical and false memories within the DRM paradigm literature. Although results suggest no overall effect of sleep, whether participants took part in a recall or recognition task, and the number of words within a DRM word list, moderated the effect. The role of sleep in DRM memory consolidation is therefore dependent on specific task features. Chapter 3 exposes participants to DRM word lists to the left or right hemisphere at encoding. The results demonstrate no hemispheric difference in memory performance after sleep for either veridical or false memories, suggesting that lateralisation effects after sleep are specific to retrieval processes. In Chapters 4 and 5, we use behavioural testing (Chapter 4) and polysomnography (PSG; Chapter 5) to investigate sleep-dependent veridical and false memory for emotionally negative, positive, and neutral DRM word lists. Findings demonstrate that negative emotion, compared to neutral, enhances veridical memory performance after sleep, whereas wake supports positive memory. Interestingly, sleep spindles during slow wave sleep (SWS) were found to correlate with increased memory performance for emotional words. In Chapter 6, we investigate the effect of sleep on learning of and memory for novel metaphorical word pairs of either negative, positive, or neutral valence. Findings demonstrate increased memory for emotional word pairs after sleep than wake. These results help clarify the role sleep plays in the formation of emotional memories, and highlights factors that modulate the effect of sleep on both veridical and false memories. We provide evidence that lateralisation…

▼ Extensive research has found glucose and caffeine to have beneficial effects on cognition and mood. Broadly, glucose has been found to improve memory and caffeine to improve attention and alertness. Relatively little research has investigated the effects of their combined consumption, although to date, similar effects on cognitive performance and mood have been found. The aim of this thesis was to systematically evaluate the behavioural effects of combined consumption of these substances and compare them with the effects of consuming either substance in isolation. Moderating factors, such as cognitive effort, were considered along with the evaluation of neural and neuroendocrine responses. The first study (chapter 2) found evidence of beneficial effects of caffeine, glucose and their combination on memory and mood, with individual effects varying across doses. However, concurrent measurement of the neuroendocrine response found no effects (chapter 3). Investigation into pre-retrieval administration of the substances memory performance (chapter 4) found no effects of any substance, in contrast to the beneficial effects found for pre-learning administration. A parallel assessment of glucose and caffeine on different attentional networks and systems (chapter 5) failed to find any effects on this aspect of cognitive performance. In chapter 6 the effects of the substances on participants who were in a sub-optimal state were examined. The findings were not able to show that effects of the substances can be more clearly elucidated when participants are not performing optimally. The final experimental study (chapter 7) investigated the effects of caffeine and glucose on neurocognitive processes, but no beneficial effects were found. Overall, the findings suggest that the effects of caffeine, glucose and their combination are modulated by dose and domain.

▼ This thesis investigates how the presence of communicative signals such as direct gaze and infant-directed speech might help infants and young children to under- stand, anticipate, and segment actions. For this, the thesis draws upon a range of methodologies, such as electroencephalography (Chapter 2), eye tracking, pupil dilation (both Chapter 3), and behavioural research (Chapter 4). Chapter 2 and 3 both investigate whether the presence of communicative signals, such as infant directed speech and direct gaze, increase infants' under- standing of actions as meaningful. The ERP experiments on 9-month-old infants reported in Chapter 2 found limited evidence that the presence of communica- tive signals enhances the N400 response, a correlate of semantic understanding. Furthermore, there is limited evidence of a complex response taking into account the presence of communication and action congruency in the Pb component in the second experiment, in which referential signals were added and the structure of the presentation was changed. Meanwhile, Chapter 3 found no evidence that communicative signals enhance anticipatory looking in 7-month-old children. Chapter 2 and 3 also investigate the possibility that communication enhances arousal. However, neither the Nc component reported in Chapter 2, nor the Pupillary Light Reflex investigated in Chapter 3 provided evidence in support of this hypothesis.

▼ The purpose of this thesis was to explore the nature of Eating Disorders in Type 1 Diabetes. Whether or not Eating Disorders are more prevalent in this demographic is a topic of contention but regardless there is a consensus that those with comorbid Type 1 have considerably worse outcomes and are significantly more difficult to treat. It has been argued that this may be due to a feature unique to this population; insulin omission for weight control. The first aim of this thesis was to systematically review how Eating Disorders have been measured in Type 1 Diabetes, paying particular attention to whether researchers have taken the role of Diabetes regimen and insulin omission into account. Following this a comparison between two Eating Disorder scales, one Diabetes specific the other not, was made in order to compare prevalence rates, to explore which items may be potentially biased and to investigate what the effect of modification may be. The structure of the Diabetes specific scale (the Diabetes Eating Problem Scale Revised) was then explored. The second aim of this thesis was to replicate a pilot study that aimed to explore demographic, psychological and health seeking features of those with Type 1 Diabetes related Eating Disorders. This formed the basis of a structural model whereby psychological and Diabetes specific traits were hypothesised to predict Eating Disorder behaviour and elevated blood glucose levels. A questionnaire built for that study regarding patient attributions was also reanalysed using new data. The final aim was to investigate how Eating Disorders in Type 1 Diabetes have been treated by reviewing literature from the last 2 decades, paying particular attention as to how treatment providers have accommodated the unique needs of those with T1D and whether or not programmes have been successful in relation to both psychological and biological outcomes.

▼ The probabilistic approach to reasoning hypothesizes that most reasoning, both in everyday life and in science, takes place in contexts of uncertainty. The central deductive concepts of classical logic, consistency and validity, can be generalised to cover uncertain degrees of belief. Binary consistency can be generalised to coherence, where the probability judgments for two statements are coherent if and only if they respect the axioms of probability theory. Binary validity can be generalised to probabilistic validity (p-validity), where an inference is p-valid if and only if the uncertainty of its conclusion cannot be coherently greater than the sum of the uncertainties of its premises. But the fact that this generalisation is possible in formal logic does not imply that people will use deduction in a probabilistic way. The role of deduction in reasoning from uncertain premises was investigated across ten experiments and 23 inferences of differing complexity. The results provide evidence that coherence and p-validity are not just abstract formalisms, but that people follow the normative constraints set by them in their reasoning. It made no qualitative difference whether the premises were certain or uncertain, but certainty could be interpreted as the endpoint of a common scale for degrees of belief. The findings are evidence for the descriptive adequacy of coherence and p-validity as computational level principles for reasoning. They have implications for the interpretation of past findings on the roles of deduction and degrees of belief. And they offer a perspective for generating new research hypotheses in the interface between deductive and inductive reasoning.

▼ fNIRS is an established research tool used to investigate typical and atypical brain development. Primarily, it provides measures of haemodynamic changes that are used to indirectly infer neural activity. Broadband NIRS provides a more direct marker of neuronal activation through measurement of changes in cytochrome-c-oxidase (CCO). As a cellular measure, CCO can be used as a bridge to improve our understanding of the link between neural and haemodynamic activity or "neurovascular coupling". Study 1 demonstrated that changes in mitochondrial activity could be measured alongside haemodynamics during functional activation, over the temporal cortex, using a miniature system in four-to-six-month-old infants. In order to investigate the spatial specificity of CCO, its relation to haemodynamics and to build upon our understanding of neurovascular coupling mechanisms, multi-channel broadband NIRS was used alongside EEG in Study 2 where responses were measured over the visual cortex. Study 2 was performed in adults as the development of a concurrent NIRS and EEG protocol was methodologically challenging. Following this, Study 3 extended on experimental paradigms from Studies 1 and 2 to measure changes in metabolic activity and haemodynamics over the temporal and visual cortices, in four-to-seven-month-old infants. This study demonstrated simultaneous broadband NIRS and EEG use in infants for the first time. The results provided evidence of underdeveloped coupling of cerebral blood flow changes and mitochondrial activity in early infancy. Finally, Study 4 extended the protocol to investigate underlying biological mechanisms that may be altered in neurovascular coupling in autism, by studying infants at high familial risk for the disorder. The findings demonstrated that the combined protocol was not only feasible for use to study atypical brain development but also provided preliminary evidence of altered coupling between cerebral energy metabolism and haemodynamics. Taken together, this work illuminates hitherto undocumented evidence of neurovascular coupling during brain development and highlights the potential of using broadband NIRS with EEG for future neurodevelopmental research in typical and atypical populations.

▼ Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a clinical umbrella term used to reference a neurodevelopmental profile of socio-communicative impairment and restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviour (RRB). In most cases, ASD is 'idiopathic' meaning that genetic aetiology is poorly defined. In other cases, ASD may present in genetic syndrome groups of known aetiology, like Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and Down syndrome (DS). There is research to suggest that these 'syndromic' forms of ASD manifest distinctly in terms of behavioural symptomatology; however, beyond this level of description, we know little of the nature of these comorbidities. Visuo-perceptual irregularities are well documented in idiopathic ASD populations; in particular, spatial orienting and visual search abilities are known to be affected. Prior to this doctorate research, it remained to be seen whether behavioural manifestations of autistic-like impairment in FXS and DS were characterised by similar visuo-perceptual abnormalities. This thesis presents a series of eye-tracking studies designed to characterise syndromic forms of ASD according to associated visuo-perceptual mechanism. The work that is presented here examines the visuo-perceptual correlates of autistic trait expression in neuro-typical (NT) children (n=56) and in three clinical paediatric cohorts: idiopathic ASD (n=16), FXS (n=7) and DS (n=15), focusing specifically on attentional disengagement and visual search performance. The results are consistent with the notion of syndrome-specific profiles of autistic-like impairment, extending the literature and elucidating the complex heterogeneity that is associated with ASD. Moreover, they illustrate the value of progressing beyond superficial behavioural indices of autistic-like impairment to examine, in a more fine-grained way, the neurocognitive features underpinning comorbid expressions of autistic-like deficit.
