Overview
DO YOU HAVE A CHILD 8-10 YEARS OF AGE or DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS A CHILD AGE 8-10?
Researchers from the Department of Health and Kinesiology at Purdue University are looking for children to take part in a study on how exercise may influence thinking and brain function.
Your child's participation will help researchers learn more about the relationship between exercise and human thinking.
Description
Who is Eligible
- Children who are 8-10 years of age
- Speak/understand English as primary language
- No disability that prevents cognitive and exercise testing
- Normal or corrected-to-normal vision
- Must not be taking any type of anti-psychotic, anti-depressant, anti-anxiety medications or any medications used to treat ADD/ADHD
- Must be willing to travel to Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN for study visits
What is Involved
2 in-person study visits at Purdue University campus (6 hrs total):
- Visit #1 (approx. 3-3.5 hrs) - complete health-related and demographic questionnaires, paper-and-pencil and computerized games, and a fitness test battery to assess motor skills and aerobic fitness
- Visit #2 (approx. 3-3.5 hrs) - complete a 20-min bout of exercise and recoding of brain waves using techniques such as an electroencephalogram (EEG) while playing computer games. An EEG is a non-invasive test where your child will wear a cap that measures electrical signals.
Compensation
- Participants will receive up to $80 for completing all of the study requirements. Free parking is also provided.
