Attentional Control after Childhood Adversity: Evaluating Temperament As a Moderating Factor

Poster Session VII - Research Proposal Posters

Keyword: Attention and Distraction

Abstract: We will examine how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) affect attentional control, and whether temperament moderates this relationship. Undergraduates will complete the Adult Temperament Questionnaire, ACEs survey, and two attentional control tasks (with eye-tracking). We predict that ACEs will impair attentional control, with temperament potentially providing a protective moderating influence.
