- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The aim of the current study is to examine the underlying brain mechanism for<br /><br>learning material with and without prior knowledge for children. Our design<br /><br>enables us to reveal functional changes of the brain which relate to the use of<br /><br>prior knowledge to integrate new but related information. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>In addition we are interested whether the variance in the benefit of prior<br /><br>knowledge for the different participants can partially be explained by<br /><br>differences in verbal IQ, executive function, the brain connectivity at rest or<br /><br>interindividual structural differences in the brain. </p><br>
