NCT ID NCT05774847
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how 200 healthy adults make decisions, such as how they weigh potential losses against gains. Researchers want to see if decision-making stays stable over time and if age plays a role. The goal is to create a baseline that can help doctors spot changes in decision-making in people with medical conditions.
