| Brief purpose of the study: | This research study investigates cognitive processing of newly learned cues for a liquid reward. |
| Brief summary of what participants will be asked to do: | The research study involves 4 laboratory visits (orientation visit followed within a week by 3 visits across consecutive days) and completing 5 electronic surveys up to 12 months after the last laboratory visit. During the lab visits, you will be asked to complete a computerized learning task in which you are presented with various visual stimuli, some of which are paired with delivery of a small amount of fruit juice or water (you will pick the juice flavor you like best from 3 options). While you complete this task, you will undergo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which allows us to visualize how your brain responds to visual stimuli and liquid rewards. |
| Basic eligibility criteria: | Individuals ages 18-25 and who have consumed at least 5 drinks containing any kind of alcohol in their lifetime may be eligible. |
