Computational Modeling of Learning and Decision-Making in PTSD (COMP)

This project closes on July 1, 2024.

The purpose of the study is to 1) define the computational mechanisms that explain biases in approach-avoidance decision making in PTSD, differentiating these mechanistic differences from trauma exposure per se or anxious psychopathology per se, and 2) to use a novel task to probe biases in latent state inferences for fear-related memories in PTSD.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
