Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 99 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Participants between 18 and 25 with no history of neurological disorder/disease and no counter-indications to MRI will be included in this study. All participants will be right-handed native Dutch speakers with normal vision or contact lenses.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Potential participants will be prescreened for contraindications for fMRI, which include metal implants, heart arrhythmia, claustrophobia, and possible pregnancy (in adult females). They will additionally be prescreened for head trauma, premature birth, learning disabilities, and history of neurological or psychiatric illness and/or use of psychotropic medications. Because of the difficulties in interpreting cognitive studies in subjects with Dutch as a second language, only native-Dutch speakers will be asked to participate in the study. Finally, left-handed individuals will be excluded from the study because some left-handers have substantially different brain organization relative to right-handers.
