Training kids to wait for bigger rewards
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a learning task (with a tablet) to help children practice waiting for a bigger reward instead of acting on impulse right away. It may be useful for young children who show very high impulsivity or hyperactivity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 3 and 6 years old
- Have very high impulsivity or hyperactivity on a parent or teacher behavior questionnaire
- Be able to physically use a tablet and see what’s on the screen (checked in a brief test)
- If taking medicine for behavior or thinking (psychotropic medicine), you must keep the same medicine and dose during the study and still show high impulsivity while on it
- Not have autism or an intellectual disability, based on parent/teacher report or a vocabulary picture test
