As a PhD student, you will work on the project called ‘Validation of an eye tracking instrument in individuals with mild to borderline intellectual disability and alcohol and\/or drug dependency’. The aim is to develop and validate an eye tracking instrument that will be used in (young) adults with mild to borderline intellectual disability (ID) and alcohol and\/or (soft)drugs dependency.
\n
\nIt has been shown that non-disabled people who abuse alcohol and\/or drugs show an attentional bias (as assessed by implicit measures) towards cues associated with these substances. Whether people with mild ID show a similar attentional bias towards substance related cues is still unknown. The aim is to add eye tracking methodology to ongoing clinical diagnosis, risk assessment and treatment evaluation of clients admitted to the clinical treatment programme.<\/p>\n

As part of the project, you will study the eye tracking methodology at the BSI, the literature on attentional bias for substances, and the literature on the characteristics and treatment of (young) adults with mild ID. You will work with these (young) adults. This will result in a PhD thesis, including papers published in top scientific journals.<\/p>\n

The research will be conducted at the Behavioural Science Institute under supervision of Prof. Robert Didden and Prof. Rutger Engels. The project group consists of Dr Klaus Drieschner (senior researcher at Trajectum), Maria Trentelman PhD (leader of the substance abuse\/dependency treatment programme at Trajectum) and Joanneke van der Nagel PhD (psychiatrist at the Tactus addiction centre and PhD student at NISPA, Nijmegen).<\/p>\n
