FUNCTIONAL NEUROIMAGING OF REWARD AND TIMING PROCESSES IN ADOLESCENTS

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 我们正在调查的发展认知和情绪的影响内部间隔计时技能的青少年。间隔计时是指一个人的“时间感”，即能够判断已经过去了多少时间和/或能够在被询问时重现时间间隔。我们正在寻求确定是否定时过程是准确的青少年相比，成年人，以及确定是否实验操作的认知负荷和情绪效价将差异互动与间隔计时技能的发展。我们还计划调查神经相关的时间过程。 这项研究将包括行为部分和神经影像部分。我们将使用基于计算机的认知任务以及功能磁共振成像（fMRI）。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We are investigating the development of cognitive and emotional influence over internal interval timing skills in adolescents. Interval timing refers to a person's "sense of time", that is, being able to judge how much time has elapsed and/or being able to reproduce a time interval when asked. We are seeking to determine whether timing processes are accurate in adolescents as compared to adults, as well as to determine if experimental manipulations of cognitive load and emotional valence will differentially interact with interval timing skills across development. We also plan to investigate the neural correlates of timing processes. This study will have a behavioral component and a neuroimaging component. We will use computer-based cognitive tasks as well as funtional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
