Neurally Targeted Interventions to Reduce Early Childhood Anxiety

"An interactive, child-friendly camp. Effortful control (EC) camp is comprised of short, game-like exercises taught by camp counselors to groups of approximately 4-6 children. In total, 12 different exercises that teach inhibitory and attentional control, as well as visuospatial and working memory skills, will be administered.~Tasks will allow for scaffolding (Halperin et al, 2013), or incremental increases in difficulty of the games over time. EC camp will occur over 4 mornings from 9AM to 12PM, on two consecutive weekends."
