The following behavior analytic studies are currently recruiting participants:

Temporal Discounting in Obese/Overweight Children

We are currently looking for children to participate in a research study to help us learn how children who are at risk for becoming overweight/obese make choices regarding food. We would like to compare their choices to those of children who are not overweight or obese. Both overweight and non-overweight children aged 8-12 are invited to participate. Participants will be asked to answer questions on a computer regarding their choices between different amounts of food given at different times. Children will not be given any food during this study. Participation will require a 1-hour visit to the Kennedy Krieger Institute. There are no medical risks or individual benefits for participating. Parking will be provided free of charge. Children who complete the study will receive a $25 gift card to Toys R Us for their participation.
