About

Overview

Dr Gaigg joined the Autism Research Group at City, University of London in 2001 and has since then pursued two primary research interests. One strand of his work focuses on understanding learning and memory processes across the autism spectrum, with projects ranging from the examination of episodic memory in autistic adults who live relatively independent lives, to studies of basic learning processes in young autistic children who have very significant language and intellectual impairments. His second strand of work seeks to develop a better understanding of the emotional lives of individuals with autism, particularly concerning the mechanisms underlying the unusually high prevalence of anxiety disorders in this population, and the implications for the development of effective treatments.

Research

Research Interests

My research is broadly concerned with understanding the causes and consequences of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - a neurodevelopmental disorder that is defined by social-communication impairments, sensory processing anomalies and stereotyped patterns of thought and behaviour. The causes of ASD remain unknown but research over the past 50 years has firmly established that the disorder is characterised by a complex pattern of strengths and difficulties across multiple domains of cognition, including, attention and perception, decision making, the processing of time, social cognition, learning and memory and emotion related processes. I am interested in discovering how this complex cognitive phenotype comes about during the development of ASD. In particular, I am trying to establish what role differences in the development of basic learning and emotion related processes play in the emergence of the core clinical features of the disorder early in life.
