Andrew Sheridan

Andrew Sheridan is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Psychological Science, University of Western Australia, where he has been employed since 2019. His academic background includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Paediatric Neuropsychology from University College London (2013), a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Royal Holloway University of London (2009), and a Bachelor of Psychology from University College London (2004).

Research Focus

Dr. Sheridan's research specializes in neurodevelopmental disorders, with particular emphasis on:

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) across lifespan
• Cognitive reserve modeling in children
• EEG-based studies of attention and alertness
• Behavioral sleep interventions
• Academic performance predictors

His current projects include implementing sleep interventions for adults with ADHD, investigating cognitive reserve in pediatric populations, and analyzing EEG correlates of academic performance.

Publication Trends

Sheridan's recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on ADHD pathophysiology, pediatric neuropsychology, and evidence-based interventions. His work frequently employs advanced statistical methods (meta-analyses, regression modeling) and neuroimaging techniques (EEG, MRI) to examine cognitive reserve mechanisms and sleep-related interventions in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Student Advising

He currently supervises multiple PhD and Honours students researching:

• Sleep interventions in adult ADHD
• Cognitive reserve development in children
• EEG characteristics of academic performance
• Attention-switching in ADHD traits
• Auditory processing and academic outcomes

Public Engagement

His research has received media coverage, particularly regarding ADHD sleep studies, including features on university platforms and science communication channels.
