The Social Neuroscience and Psychopathology lab at Harvard University is enrolling children ages 8-11 in a study exploring how the brain processes social situations and how this relates to children's experiences of the world around them and their social relationships.

Your child may be eligible to participate if she or he:
1) Is between the ages of 8-13
2) Has no history of mental illness (e.g. anxiety, depression, psychosis)
3) Has no history of neurological problems

The study involves 2 parts:
1) A 3-4 hour behavioral session that includes questionnaires and interviews with a researcher.

($10/hour for the family)
2) A one-hour long brain scan during which your child will be asked to do some simple tasks ($25/hour for the family)

Additionally, your child will have a choice of receiving a gift card at the end of each part of the study.
