Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In the proposed study, brain activation patterns are the dependent variables. We are interested in the neural correlates of landmarks with different navigational relevance. More specifically, we would like to investigate how they change with age. Moreover, we would like to investigate whether more adult like brain activation patters are associated with better performance on the navigation task. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In addition we are interested in behavioral measures such as response times and percentage of errors. We will also include measurements of IQ and emotional status to describe our study population. If the scores of a subject deviate from the mean more than 2 standard deviations, the experimental scores will not be included in further analysis. | — |
