Regions showing increased activation during aST performance as a significant interaction of group-by-emotion; (A) Children showed increased activation of left fusiform gyrus (coordinates; −34.5, −49.5, −9.5) in response to negative trials, relative to adolescents and young adults; (B) parameter estimates for this interaction; (C) Children showed increased activation of right anterior cingulate gyrus (coordinates; 4.5, 25.5, −3.5) in response to negative trials, relative to adolescents and young adults; (D) Parameter estimates for this interaction; (E) Children showing greater difference of activation in left amygdala anatomical ROI (coordinates; −22.5, −1.5, −21.5) between emotional (negative and positive) stimuli and neutral stimuli, relative to adolescents and young adults; (F) Parameter estimates for this region. * = significant contrasts.
