Motivated Cognition & Aging Brain Lab

Cognitive neuroscience and behavioral economics research lab directed by Gregory Samanez-Larkin at Duke University

Research in the lab examines how individual and age differences in motivation and cognition influence decision making across the life span. Our research is at the intersection of a number of subfields within psychology, neuroscience, and economics including human development, affective science, cognitive neuroscience, behavioral economics, and finance. We use a combination of behavioral and neuroimaging techniques ranging from detailed measurement of functional brain activity (fMRI) and neuroreceptors (PET) in the laboratory to experience sampling in everyday life. Our behavioral lab and offices are located in the Department of Psychology and we conduct our neuroimaging research at the Yale Magnetic Resonance Research Center and the Yale PET Center.

Our Story, Our Lab

Research in the lab examines how individual and age differences in motivation and cognition influence decision making across the life span. We aim to identify psychological and neurobiological strengths at all stages of adulthood that can be used to enhance everyday decision making. Our research is at the intersection of a number of subfields within psychology, neuroscience, kinesiology, and economics including human development, affective science, cognitive neuroscience, physical activity, behavioral economics, and finance. We use a combination of behavioral and neuroimaging techniques ranging from detailed measurement of functional brain activity (fMRI) and neuroreceptors (PET) in the laboratory to experience sampling in everyday life. Our behavioral lab and offices are located in the Duke Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and we conduct our neuroimaging research at the Duke Brain Imaging and Analysis Center .
