We are recruiting healthy adults between 18 and 45 years of age to take part in a study of the relationship among probabilistic association learning (a type of non-conscious learning), schizotypal personality traits (involving odd behaviours and/​or beliefs in some people), striatal function (an area deep inside the brain shown to be important for this type of non-conscious learning) and genes important to striatal function.

All participants will be asked to complete (within two hours) three questionnaires, a computerized learning test, six brief ​“pencil and paper” cognitive tests and to provide a blood sample for genetic analysis. Some participants (based on their questionnaire scores) will be asked to come back to receive a functional magnetic resonance image scan of the brain.

Reimbursement of $20.00 per visit will be provided for your time and for out-of-pocket expenses.

If you have any questions or are interested in participating, please feel free to contact the research team.
