Project description

Although investing cognitive effort is key to success in daily life, its mechanistic understanding is thus far minimal. We will use a multimethod neurocognitive approach to better understand how cognitive effort is evaluated, implemented, adjusted, and maintained, both in healthy participants and in a highly relevant clinical population (ADHD).
