Developmental fMRI reward studies.
Study | Main findings | Age range of adolescent group | Comparison group | Task design | Analysis focus | Baseline |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bjork et al. (2004) | Adolescents show hypo-responsive striatalactivity relative to adults | 12–17 | Adults (ages 21–28) | Reward magnitude | Anticipationof reward | Entire trial |
May et al. (2004) | No comparison group | 9–16 | None | Reward probability | Entire trial | First timepoint of each trial |
Ernst et al. (2005) | Adolescents show hyper-responsive striatal activity relative to adults | 9–17 | Adults (ages 20–40) | Reward magnitude and probability | Feedback (outcome) | Subset of fixation trials |
Galván et al. (2006) | Adolescents show hyper-responsive striatal activity relative to child and adults | 13–17 | Children (ages 7–11) and adults (ages 23–29) | Reward magnitude | Anticipation | Intertrial interval |
van Leijenhorst et al. (2009) | Adolescents show hyper-responsive striatal activity relative to children and adults | 14–15 | Children (ages 10–12) and adults (ages 18–23) | Reward probability | Anticipation and feedback | No baseline |
Geier et al. (2009) | Adolescents show hypo-responsive striatal activity to reward cues and hyper-responsive activity in anticipation of reward relative to adults | 13–17 | Adults (ages 18–30) | Reward probability | Cue, anticipati-on and feedback | Implicit baseline(e.g., non-task activation) |
