Impact of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation on Learning Novel Spoken Words

NCT06387615 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 42

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the proposed study is to use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to evaluate a neurobiological model of spoken word learning in older youth. Specifically, it is hypothesized that: (1) inhibition of the left dorsal stream will impact subsequent learning, processing, and retention of phonologically similar pseudowords; (2) the impact of dorsal stream inhibition on word learning will be associated with baseline levels of variability in neural activity, indicative of underlying differences in cortical excitability.
