Thinking skills development in young children
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how thinking skills like memory, attention, and problem-solving grow in healthy children ages 7 to 10. It will help researchers understand normal brain development. There is an optional brain imaging part for children ages 8 to 10.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You understand the task instructions in the language used by the researchers.
- You have no history of brain or mental health conditions
- You do not take any medicines that affect your brain or mood
- For the brain scan part: you have no metal in your body (like braces, piercings or surgical clips) that can't be removed
- For the brain scan part: you don't have any electronic devices implanted (like a pacemaker)

This trial studies interventions to improve math and cognitive (thinking) skills in elementary school children. It includes both children with math learning difficulties and typically developing children, using tests and MRI brain scans for those who can participate.
This study follows children’s thinking and learning over time using simple testing at school. It aims to better estimate how children’s thinking develops and how it changes as they grow.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how the brain develops and supports thinking skills. It may help researchers learn more about healthy brain function.
This study looks at how psychiatric and neurological conditions affect thinking and memory skills. By comparing patients with healthy volunteers, researchers hope to better understand these cognitive problems and find new ways to help.
This research study uses brain imaging to see how blood flows in your brain while you think and perform tasks. Researchers hope to better understand how healthy brains work during different types of thinking.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the brains of healthy children ages 9 to 14. It helps researchers learn about normal brain development.
