!! Practical considerations
This section provides some practical considerations regarding inclusion criteria.
{FANCYLIST()}
1) __Screen participants for factors that may affect cognition or learning outcomes__. These include, but are not limited to, potential cognitive impairment and use of commonly prescribed psychoactive medication (e.g., benzodiazepines). Not specific to older adults, but important for replicability, is to additionally screen for presence of traumatic brain injury, the presence of psychiatric or neurological illness, or (past) addiction to alcohol or other drugs.
2) __fMRI and MRI contraindications__. Participants with pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, cochlear implants, or other implants containing metal cannot be placed in an MRI scanner.
3) __Eye-tracking__. Participants whose pupils are (partially) obscured (e.g., due to ptsosis) or who cannot see without bifocal/varifocal glasses cannot be tested because it is not possible to get a good eye-tracking signal (((Eye-tracking|see also the page on eye-tracking))).
