Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- For all participants: age between 10 and 18 years and an intelligence quotient score of 70 or higher.
- For patient groups: confirmed clinical diagnoses according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)-5 of CD or ASD (depending on the group), without comorbid depression or anxiety psychological disorders.
Exclusion
- For all participants: low intelligence (IQ\<70, as they might otherwise not fully understand what they are expected to do inside the scanner), insufficient German language skills or any contraindications for MRI (e.g. pregnancy, any non-removable metal within the subjects' body, claustrophobia).
- For patient groups: severe developmental disorders, comorbid depressive and/or anxiety disorders will also be excluded from the study since it was shown that these patients might have problems in attention allocation under emotional stimulation.
- For typically developing participants: suspicion of an undiagnosed clinical disorder
