Funding: This work was funded by the School of Psychology Open Competition Studentship, Cardiff University, awarded to LR as part of a doctoral programme of study. 1 Abstract Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative dementia disorder, after Alzheimer’s disease (AD). DLB is characterised clinically by cognitive fluctuations, visual hallucinations, rapid-eye-movement sleep behaviour disorder, and Parkinsonism. Differentiating DLB from AD and related disorders of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Parkinson’s disease with dementia (PDD) can be difficult at early disease stages due to overlapping clinical and pathological features. Nevertheless, it has been shown that visuoperceptual, attention and executive deficits, relative to memory impairments, are especially prominent in the early stages of DLB compared with AD or PD. The importance of these impairments is reflected in the recent revision of the diagnostic consensus guidelines of DLB. As the last reviews of cognitive impairments in DLB were conducted over a decade ago (Collerton, Burn, McKeith & O’Brien, 2003; Metzler-Baddeley, 2007; Ralph, 2001), we provide an up-to-date review of the literature into perceptual and attention- executive functions in DLB.

Attentional deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ADHD is the most common childhood neurodevelopmental disorder, affecting 3-5% of children worldwide. Stephan Collishaw and Anita Thapar have shown that genetic, medical and family factors are risks for adverse outcomes, but we need to understand risk and resilience to ADHD. Project: Compare biological and social risk/protective factors between UK and South African cohorts to develop prediction methods to optimize outcomes for children with ADHD. 2. Removing barriers to de-institutionalisation Estimated 8 million children grow up in institutional care worldwide (UNICEF, 2009), research show this increases risk of child mental health conditions. Katherine Shelton, in partnership with Hope and Homes for Children, has shown that national attitudes towards vulnerable children influences how services are developed and deployed.
