Significant Differences in Effective Connectivity between lower-fit (LF) and higher-fit (HF) children within the Cingulo-Opercular Network. Panel (A) displays the differences in general task-related connectivity. The arrows represent connections that are stronger in HF children than in LF children. The thickness of the arrows is proportional to the magnitude of the estimated effect size for each group difference (note that this representation is for illustrative purposes only, such that thicker arrows reflect larger effect sizes)1. The yellow arrows indicate connections positively correlated with task performance, meaning that higher estimates of effective connectivity were associated with greater general accuracy2. Gray arrows (FDR corrected) and white arrows (FDR uncorrected) indicate connections that were not correlated with task performance. Panel( B) shows the differences in interference-related connectivity (incongruent minus congruent trials) between LF and HF children. The purple arrows indicate stronger connections in LF children than in HF children. Brain-behavior correlations were not significant here. No significant differences in effective connectivity within the fronto-parietal network were observed between LF and HF children. * Results significant after FDR corrections. dACC = Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex; LaI = Left anterior insula; RaI = Right anterior insula; RaPFC = Right anterior prefrontal cortex; LaPFC = Left anterior prefrontal cortex; lDLPFC = Left dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex; rDLPFC = Right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; lIPS = Left intraparietal sulci; rIPS = Right intraparietal sulci.
