CORE 3 will utilize the Caltech Psychological Assessment Laboratory (PAL), whose mission is to provide recruitment and comprehensive, centralized testing of human research participants on psychological measures. Currently the PAL provides one day per week for obtaining measures of cognitive abilities, personality traits, psychiatric history, and psychosocial background, as part of the Caltech Brain Imaging Center. Researchers at Caltech use this information for inclusion and exclusion screening, for statistical use as covariates in group analyses, and for statistical comparison across subjects in research studies that investigate individual differences. This scope will be expanded for the Projects in the Conte Center, all of which include Aims regarding individual differences, and all of which rely on adequate recruitment, screening, and characterization of research participants. Thus, Core 3, like Core 2, will leverage an existing mechanism to enable a critical service for all of the four scientific Projects of the Center. Core 3 will not provide any clinical services. Core 3 will be directed by Dr. Lynn Paul, a licensed clinical psychologist; Dr. Ralph Adolphs will be a co-Pl. There are four Aims: subject recruitment; subject screening; basic psychological assessment (including demographics, IQ, basic perception); and assessment of problem solving skills relevant to the experiments described under the Projects (reasoning, logic, sophistication in math).

CORE 3将利用加州理工学院心理评估实验室（PAL），该实验室的任务是为人类研究参与者提供招募和全面、集中的心理测量测试。目前，作为加州理工学院脑成像中心的一部分，PAL每周提供一天的时间来获取认知能力、人格特征、精神病史和社会心理背景的测量。加州理工学院的研究人员使用这些信息进行纳入和排除筛选，在群体分析中作为协变量的统计使用，以及在调查个体差异的研究中进行跨主题的统计比较。这一范围将扩大到会议中心的项目，所有这些项目都包括关于个体差异的目标，所有这些目标都依赖于充分的招募、筛选和研究参与者的特征。因此，与Core 2一样，Core 3将利用现有机制为中心的所有四个科学项目提供关键服务。3号中心将不提供任何临床服务。Core 3将由持证临床心理学家林恩·保罗（Lynn Paul）博士指导；拉尔夫·阿道夫斯博士将担任合作助理。
