Anna den Heijer

Anna den Heijer is a researcher at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences, specifically within the Neuropsychology across the Life-Span department. Her academic work focuses on neurodevelopmental outcomes across different pediatric populations, with particular emphasis on preterm-born children and those with medical conditions such as biliary atresia.

Her research expertise spans multiple domains including executive functions, neurodevelopment, ADHD, psychometrics, and pediatric neuropsychology. The UN Sustainable Development Goals framework recognizes her contributions to health and well-being through her research on child development and neurological outcomes.

Dr. den Heijer's publication record demonstrates consistent research activity from 2020-2024, with work appearing in journals such as Early Human Development and Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society. Her research shows particular strength in longitudinal studies examining cognitive development from infancy through adolescence, with a focus on how early medical conditions affect later neurocognitive outcomes.

Her scientific contributions include 22 research outputs and 1 dataset, with her work receiving citations across multiple platforms. The research fingerprint analysis reveals strong connections to empathy, ADHD, neurodevelopment, nerve cell differentiation, executive functions, and psychometrics.

While specific grant information isn't detailed in the available materials, her collaborative work with researchers like Bos AF, Spikman JM, and Bruggink JLM indicates participation in multidisciplinary research teams focused on pediatric neurodevelopment. Her dataset on Whole Body Vibration effects demonstrates engagement with innovative research methodologies in child neuropsychology.
