In-Depth Study of Cognition During Life Transitions

Thank you for your interest in our research! We are investigating how cognition (e.g., performance on memory and attention games) might change across pregnancy and postpartum, including in relation to factors like mood and sleep.

If you choose to join our study:

  • Your participation can last up to 15 months (if you choose).
  • You will be asked to install an application on your smartphone.
  • For seven days each month, you will receive notifications to complete phone surveys and cognitive games twice per day (in the morning & evening).
  • You will also have the opportunity to record an audio diary about events of your day.
  • You do not need to be local to the University of Virginia or come into the lab – this study can be completed wherever you are!
