Brief description of study
Does your child have trouble paying attention? Are they impulsive? Act out?
Researchers at the IU School of Medicine are looking for parents/guardians and their children to take part in a research study to learn more about factors that affect how children understand the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of other people and how they respond to virtual reality environments.
Children, 9-12 years of age, who display behaviors that indicate Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are invited to participate.
Study participation involves up to three sessions with you and your child at our laboratories at the IU School of Medicine.
