The goal of our study is to learn about cognitive abilities, the brain networks that are involved in those cognitive abilities, and emotional wellbeing over the course of adolescence. We are interested in understanding how certain cognitive abilities, like being able to pay attention or learn actions that help you achieve goals, may help teenagers to cope with stress and stay healthy. 

This is a two-year study. Over the course of the study, you will have a total of two study visits at our laboratory in Boulder, each lasting about five hours. During these visits you will be interviewed about your life experiences; you will complete some computer games that involve paying attention and learning; you will have a neuroimaging scan while you either rest quietly or play computer games; and you will answer a set of surveys on a computer. 

Also as part of the study, you will complete a set of online surveys and a brief telephone interview once every six months (five times total during the two-year study participation). 

At the end of the study, you will have a final telephone interview, lasting about two hours.

You can earn up to $750 for your time and effort completing all parts of the study. 

Interested students should email raddlab@colorado.edu or fill out the online study eligibility screen. 

If you're planning to graduate in August, please ensure you’ve met the June 1 deadlines. Contact your academic department if you have concerns.

The decision has been made to proceed with the option for departments to use summer operating hours. Implementation of the summer hours schedule will vary among departments considering most employees are working remotely.

For units that choose to follow the summer hours, the hours will be 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., effective Monday, May 11 through Saturday, August 15. On Sunday, August 16 departments using summer hours for their employees will return to regular operating hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

Some departments maintain their own unique hours of operation. Employees should follow their department’s schedule in consultation with their supervisor.
