The AttCom project investigates how attention (visual attention, executive attention, behavioral (in)attention symptoms) affects communicative processes across different languages. The interdisciplinary team uses a variety of methods such as eye-tracking, cognitive and linguistic tests, questionnaires, and interviews to assess children and adults with and without Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In this full-day workshop, project members from the fields of linguistics, philosophy, and psychology will present their findings and contributions to the field.
The workshop is open to all. No registration needed.
