On the first day, you will come to the Loeffler Building for a behavioral visit. This part of the study will take about 3-4 hours. We will ask you to do the following tasks: a brief IQ screen (an intelligence test that takes about 15 minutes), fill out questionnaires and answer some questions about their health and behavior, and complete varied thinking tests on a computer. This study involves questionnaires, computer games, and brain scans. Brain imaging studies will be done at the MRRC system at Presbyterian Hospital of the University of Pittsburgh in Oakland. This part of the study takes a total of about 2.5 hours, including talking to the nurse, practicing the tasks, and the scan. Time in the scanner is approximately 1.5 hours. Participants will come in for two visits at each time point – baseline, 18-months, and 36-months.
