Study Opportunity for Children 11-14 at Temple University

Hi there! The Social Developmental Neuroscience Lab is a psychology research lab at
Temple University and needs your help!
We are looking for families in the community with children ages 11-14 to participate in
our newest study, Social Processing Across Development, or, SPADE! The purpose of
this study is to broadly look at the how kids interact with one another.
The study lab visit will span 2-6 hours in total with the potential of being asked to
complete some additional tasks at home. Your family will be paid $10-25 per hour in
Visa reward cards with the opportunity to win extra money as well. During the study
visit, your child might play some computer games, complete surveys and participate in
an fMRI scan, an EEG and/or Eye-tracking. You (the parent) will be asked to complete
some questionnaires.
So, what is an EEG?
 EEG or electroencephalogram measures the electrical activity of the brain. To
do this, we place a cap, similar to a swim cap, that has some button-like
devices that record brain activity We might use these to measure your child's
brain activity while they play games on our computer. EEG is painless and
non-invasive.
Okay, then what is an fMRI?
 fMRI scanner is a giant magnet that is used to take pictures of the brain. The
fMRI scanner can be a little noisy and requires the participant to stay very still
while it takes pictures. If we ask your child to participate in this, we’ll make
sure they’re comfortable before their scan. Like the EEG, it is safe and non-
invasive.
And, what is eye-tracking?
 Eye-tracking measures the way a person’s eyes and face move by using a
small camera while the person makes decisions about things they look at on
a computer screen, or, while they play some games. Like EEG and fMRI, this
is safe and non-invasive.
