Virtual Reality to Improve Social Perspective Taking
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Conduct Disorder, Child, Adolescent, Attention Deficit and Disruptive Behavior Disorders, Child Behavior Disorders, Virtual Reality, Social Perception, Magnetic Resonance Imaging
In brief
This project will examine how virtual reality treatment that provides users with the alternate perspective of a virtual interpersonal interaction impacts psychological and neurobiological markers of social perspective taking in children with a disruptive behavior disorder. The investigators anticipate that experiencing a virtual encounter from a counterpart's point-of-view improves a child's perspective taking and alters brain function related to imagining another person's pain.
