Mind, Brain, and Education in typical development

Does a novel training programme improve working memory? (aged 16 – 25)

In this study we are interested in examining whether repeated practice at a computerised working memory task over a 20 day period improves cognitive control capabilities (as measured by other unpractised tasks) in young people aged 16 – 25 years. We hope that the study findings will inform treatments for working memory difficulties associated with low mood and brain injury. More information about this study can be found in the documents below.

Moral development and social information processing: relationships with empathy, working memory and perspective taking

We know that as children get older they develop different skills such as memory and decision making. We want to know how these skills are linked to each other, and how they are related to behaviour. For this study we are recruiting typically developing children and adolescents, aged 11-18. The study will involve filling in paper questionnaires and completing some computer tasks in a one off 2 hour study session. All participants will be entered into a prize draw, with a chance of winning one of 20 £20 vouchers (iTunes, Amazon or Tesco's). More information about the study can be found in the information sheets below.
