St. Lawrence University, Experimental Analysis of Behavior

This summer I had the opportunity to work in the Experimental Analysis of Behavior lab under the supervision of Dr. Adam Fox. We used Long Evans Spontaneously Hyperactive Rat strain for the project which aimed to investigate time perception in the SHR rats with ADHD. For the project we collected data using the temporal bisection task. I was particularly interested because most college students and young children suffer from ADHD. ADHD being one of the most diagnosed and rapidly disorders among children and young adults.
