Pavlovian Approach for Potential Reward Decreased across the Lifespan

(A and B) Model fits in both females and males showed modest declines in economic risk-aversion parameters (α_gain; A) and larger declines in Pavlovian approach parameters (β_gain; B). Error bars represent the SEM.

(C) For both females and males, effect sizes for age-related decline in Pavlovian approach parameters were larger in magnitude than for economic risk-aversion parameters. Error bars represent bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals. ^∗p < 0.001.
