Stephanie Morris is a doctoral student in the Clinical Science Program in Child and Adolescent Psychology. Under the mentorship of Dr. Erica Musser, she is working to develop a better understanding of secondary characteristics (e.g., cognitive and emotional dysfunction) of ADHD. Her research focuses on examining the bidirectional relationship of cognitive and emotional dysfunction among youth with ADHD by utilizing a multimodal approach (e.g., behavioral, fMRI, and/or psychophysiological indexes), as well as understanding the influence of ADHD treatments on related psychophysiological indexes. The long-term goal of her work is to inform the advancement of assessment measures and treatment protocols of primary symptoms and secondary characteristics of ADHD.
