Background: Numerous studies investigate the rate of neurodevelopmental disorders in forensic populations. Studies have also investigated the rate of psychopathy in such settings. However, there appears to be a paucity of studies looking at both of t...

Within correctional/confinement settings, screening in order to detect Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders(FASD) or Alcohol-Related Neuro Developmental Disorder (ARND) is frequently lacking. The courts may not recognize FAS/ ARND which lead... Read More about Studies investigating fetal alcohol spectrum disorders in the criminal justice system : a systematic PRISMA review.

– The purpose of this paper is to explore the research which has examined the link between autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and offending behaviour and the impact of prison on individuals with ASDs. Studies suggest that inmates with ASDs...

Association between parent-infant interactions in infancy and disruptive behaviour disorders at age seven: a nested, case–control ALSPAC study (2014)
Journal Article

Background
Effective early intervention to prevent oppositional/conduct disorders requires early identification of children at risk. Patterns of parent-child interaction may predict oppositional/conduct disorders but large community-based prospecti...

Prediction of 7-year psychopathology from mother-infant joint attention behaviours: a nested case–control study (2013)
Journal Article

Background
To investigate whether later diagnosis of psychiatric disorder can be predicted from analysis of mother-infant joint attention (JA) behaviours in social-communicative interaction at 12 months.

Method
Using data from a large contempora... Read More about Prediction of 7-year psychopathology from mother-infant joint attention behaviours: a nested case–control study.

How evidence-based is an 'evidence-based parenting program'? A PRISMA systematic review and meta-analysis of Triple P (2012)
Journal Article

Background
Interventions to promote positive parenting are often reported to offer good outcomes for children but they can consume substantial resources and they require rigorous appraisal.

Can psychopathology at age 7 be predicted from clinical observation at one year? Evidence from the ALSPAC cohort (2012)
Journal Article

One of the challenges of developmental psychopathology is to determine whether identifiable pathways to developmental disorders exist in the first months or years of life. Early identification of such disorders poses a similar challenge for clinical... Read More about Can psychopathology at age 7 be predicted from clinical observation at one year?

Click trains and the rate of information processing: Does “speeding up” subjective time make other psychological processes run faster? (2011)
Journal Article
Jones, L., Allely, C., & Wearden, J. (2011). Click trains and the rate of information processing: Does “speeding up” subjective time make other psychological processes run faster?. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 64(2), 363-380. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2010.502580

A series of experiments demonstrated that a 5-s train of clicks that have been shown in previous
studies to increase the subjective duration of tones they precede (in a manner consistent with “speeding
up” timing processes) could also have an effec... Read More about Click trains and the rate of information processing: Does “speeding up” subjective time make other psychological processes run faster?.
