Note. Up to 20 local maxima are reported for each cluster. Description of the anatomical area of each of these sub-peaks is provided, as well as Brodmann area (when applicable).

a) Contrasts were originally thresholded at p <.005, and then corrected for multiple comparisons using a cluster extent threshold as determined in AlphaSim (p <.05). A DLPFC mask (BA 9 and BA 46) was created using the WFU Pickatlas (Maldjian JA et al., 2003).

b) For this exploratory whole brain analysis, a threshold of, p<.005, > 100 voxels (uncorrected) was used.

HE = high expectancy task; LE = low expectancy task; MFG = middle frontal gyrus; SPL = superior parietal lobule; IPL = inferior parietal lobule; MTG = middle temporal gyrus.
