Undergraduate Research Spotlight - Anthony Edgar
I am interested in Value Driven Attentional Capture, or VDAC. VDAC, in essence, is the distracting power of stimuli
both associated with and without a reward. We aim to measure this distracting power in both non-ADHD and ADHD
populations, and in turn, aim to learn more about distractions in people with and without ADHD. This work has farreaching implications, such as the distraction power of drugs in addicted populations.
