Study how aging affects learning to trust and distrust
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how thinking and learning processes change with age, especially around deciding what to trust. You may be asked to complete computer tasks and brief memory/thinking tests to understand these changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can give informed consent in writing and verbally
- You speak English fluently and have at least an 8th-grade education
- You are on a stable set of medications (your doses should not be changing)
- You are not currently pregnant
- You can safely have MRI scanning if they do it (no metal/implant issues and you can tolerate the scanner)

This study uses brain scans to understand how older adults (65-80) and younger adults (18-30) learn and generalize information. It may help explain memory changes with age.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and controlled stimulation to understand how normal aging and stress affect memory and thinking, including how people navigate. It may help researchers learn what changes in the brain happen over time and with stress.
This study compares different types of memory and thinking exercises in younger and older healthy adults. It tests whether a specific computer-based training program can improve mental abilities like attention and problem-solving.
This study looks at how a deep brain area helps people focus and ignore distractions as we get older. You may be invited if you’re a healthy adult and can safely complete brain-related testing.
This study follows adults 40+ to better understand and track changes in memory and thinking as people age. It groups people with normal thinking, subjective complaints, mild cognitive impairment, early Alzheimer’s, and vascular (blood vessel) related brain changes to find what predicts progression.
This study tests a memory-skills training approach (the Modified Story Memory Technique) to help older adults with aging-related memory changes. You may be asked to do memory exercises, and some people may also complete an optional brain MRI scan.
