The Reward and Cognitive Control Study investigates the impact of reward and motivation on children's cognitive control and its neural correlates. Children wear a special cap that records their EEG while they play a gamelike task that requires them to use cognitive control. This study involves children between the ages of 4 to 6 years, as this is a critical time for executive function development. The RCC study is being run by Dr. Sandra Wiebe and her team.

The Cool and Hot Inhibitory Control (CHIC) Study is an online study looking at factors that influence children's inhibitory control, or their ability to suppress or modify responses. There is evidence that inhibitory control operates differently when we we are dealing with reward or emotion (hot inhibitory control) versus when we are not (cool inhibitory control). Children complete a series of short, game-like tasks that vary in their "temperature", during several Zoom sessions. This study involves children from 4 to 6 years old and their parents, anywhere in Western Canada.
