First author Year Sample size Gender Method Cognitive control paradigm/task Emotional/motivational stimuli Main point
STUDIES IN HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
Jazbec et al. 2006 53 m/f beh Antisaccade Reward vs. no reward Reward ↑ performance in both groups; incentives modulate incorrect antisaccades in adolescents
Kohls et al. 2009 65 Boys beh Go–no-go task Reward vs. no reward Reward (social and non-social) ↑ inhibitory control
Tottenham et al. 2011 100:53 kids 24 adol. 23 adults m/f beh Emotional go–no-go task Eckman and Friesen faces Improvement in cognitive control and emotion regulation across age groups
Hare et al. 2008 12 + 24 + 24 m/f fMRI Emotional go–no-go NIMSTIM Age moderates emotional processing during no-go task
Ladouceur et al. 2009 31 (HA) + 26 (LA) m/f beh Emotional face n-back task NIMSTIM High anxious participants had slower RT on fearful n-back task; this effect was increased in younger relative to older participants
Visu-Petra et al. 2010 60 m/f beh Emotional odd-one-out task NIMSTIM High anxious (rel. to low anxious)showed slower RT and ↑ errors to happy faces but improved performance to angry faces
STUDIES IN PEDIATRIC MOOD AND ANXIETY DISORDERS
Dickstein et al. 2007 26 + 33 + 33 m/f beh Set-shifting task Bipolar relative to controls impaired on some set-shifting abilities
Hardin et al. 2009 25 + 25 m/f beh Antisaccade NIMSTIM emotion + monetary reward ANX improved antisaccade latency to fear faces; controls improved latency to happy faces
Jazbec et al. 2005 28 + 11 + 12 m/f beh Antisaccade Reward vs. no reward Altered latency patters of incorrect antisaccades across groups
Ladouceur et al. 2005 17 + 16 + 24 + 18 m/f beh Emotional n-back task Child friendly IAPS face or scene? MDD + co-morbid AXN/MDD longer RT during negative vs. neutral background; controls longer RT during positive background
Ladouceur et al. 2006 23 + 19 + 26 m/f beh Emotional go–no-go task Eckman and Friesen Changed go RT during emotion trials in ANX/DEPR groups
McClure et al. 2005 34 + 18 m/f beh Flanker, stop, stop–change, CPT, face labeling Deficits in cognitive control and emotion processing (same study but different expts.)
Mueller et al. 2010b 20 + 23 m/f beh Antisaccade Reward vs. no reward Reward improved performance in controls but not bipolar group
Rich et al. 2007 35 + 21 + 26 m/f ERP Affective Posner task Rigged feedback Reduced P3 amplitude in bipolar relative to control group during negative feedback
Britton et al. 2010 15 + 20 m/f fMRI Set-shifting task Controls showed higher activation than OCD in left IFG in mixed vs. single blocks
Carrion et al. 2008 16 + 14 m/f fMRI Blocked go–no-go task Control: ↑ activation in left MFG; early stress: ↑ activation PTSD in cuneus, IOG, ACC
Huyser et al. 2010 25 + 25 m/f fMRI Tower of London task Control > OCD during planning relative to control in IFG and parietal lobe
Leibenluft et al. 2007 26 + 17 m/f fMRI Stop-signal task Control > bipolar on correct vs. incorrect stop trials in vlPFC
Mueller et al. 2010a 12 + 21 m/f fMRI Stop–change task Early stress ↑ activations in fronto-striatal circuitry
Nelson et al. 2007 25 + 17 m/f fMRI Stop–change task Bipolar >  control in dlPFC in change relative to go trials
Singh et al. 2010 26 + 22 m/f fMRI Go–no-go task Bipolar > control in dlPFC in no-go – no
