Neurodevelopment Of Reasoning Ability Study (NORA)
The NORA study examined the behavioural and neural factors that underlie changes in reasoning ability across childhood and adolescence. Participants were 201 young people aged 6 to 19 years in California, United States of America, without neurological impairment, psychiatric illness, and history of learning disabilities or developmental delays. There were three waves of data collection, including behavioural tasks, neuroimaging and mental health data. Academic results were linked to state-wide tests of academic achievement. The average time between data collection waves was 1.5 years.
