Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main study parameters are brain activity in reaction to the cognitive control reaction time tasks (Stroop task, Go/NoGo), accompanied by behavioural responses to the tasks (reaction times in both tasks and number of errors in the Go/No Go task).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The Video game addiction test (VAT) measures the degree of game addiction. This will be correlated with the degree of activation and behavioural performance on the reaction time tasks separately for each group. Also a measure of impulsivity and attentional control will be correlated with the main behavioral and functional data from the fMRI tasks.	—
