Neurobehavioral Signatures of Sign- and Goal-Tracking in Emerging Adults: Translation of a Preclinical Model
Conditions: Substance Use, Healthy
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 22 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 294
Sponsor: University of Michigan
Location: Rachel Upjohn Building Ann Arbor Michigan
Summary
This study seeks to understand individual differences in personality, brain function, and behavior.
Study hypothesis:
\- A stronger sign-tracking bias will be associated with a bottom-up processing style characterized by less adaptive attentional- and impulse-control as well as hyperactive reward processing, whereas a stronger goal-tracking bias will be associated with a top-down processing style characterized by strong attentional- and impulse-control as well as normative reward processing.
