Planning and Cerebral Palsy

We are interested in how adults with CP use planning to solve problems and how planning is related to beliefs about one’s decision.

Who can participate?

Adults meeting inclusion criteria below will be eligible to participate in the study:

What does it involve?

You will complete an initial telephone screening interview to confirm eligibility for the study.
After eligibility is confirmed, you will solve some reasoning puzzles and complete some questionnaires about yourself across one or two testing sessions.
- You can choose to participate in the session via Zoom or in-person, depending on your preference.
- In-person testing will take place in one of the Cerebral Palsy Alliance’s service sites.
