Girls’ Interactions in Real Life: Study of Brain Development (GIRLS Brain Study)The GIRLS Brain Study recruited girls ages 11-13 who are shy and/or fearful in order to examine how their brains respond to emotion. Participation involved a parent and their child visiting our lab up to three times over the course of three years. The parent and child completed several questionnaires, interviews, and activities. Children received a series of telephone calls on research study-provided cell phones for up to three weekends and provided salivary samples. Children also had an fMRI scan where their brain activity was measured while they complete computerized tasks.
This study is currently closed for recruitment.
