In this study, we want to learn how intuition and gut feelings effect the everyday lives of adolescents.
The ability to feel change in the body is different from person to person. We want to know how these differences in adolescents relate to the intensity of their emotions and the ability to make complex decisions.
We will be using MRIs, saliva samples, questionnaires, and lab games to see how adolescents vary in their ability to sense their bodies.
Eligibility Requirements
You may qualify for the study if your child is female, between the ages of 10 and 17, and you and your child are both fluent in English.
We are looking for both healthy children (children without a mental or physical health condition) and children who have been currently or previously diagnosed with anorexia nervosa.
Study Requirements
This study has three parts and may require up to three study days.
