Note: D=Depression group; A=Anxiety group; C=Control; ds=effect size, x¯1x¯2(s1+s2)/2; ACC=anterior cingulate cortex; OFC=orbitofrontal cortex; L=left; R=right; Inf=inferior; Sup=superior; M=medial. Italicsp<.05, but not significant after controlling for type 1 error using conservative threshold of p<.01.

df: Decision Phase: Diagnosis (1,101.9-192.3), Probability (1,634.9-683.9), Reward (1, 294.8-453.6), Probability x Reward: (1, 542.4-652.1). Interactions with diagnosis did not change df for Reward and Probability effects.
