About

Overview

Anna Lambrechts is a cognitive neuroscientist trained at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, France. Her PhD work with Dr Sebastian Gaigg and Dr Kielan Yarrow at City, University of London focused on time perception and temporal aspects of communication in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Her current work continues to explore the temporal dynamics of communication in ASD. In addition, she investigates learning and reward processing in autistic children and adults who present complex needs such as learning difficulties and language delays.

Topics of interest:
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
Temporal dynamics of behaviour
Communication
Time perception
Learning
Reward processing
ASD & complex needs
Memory in ASD
