Exploratory analyses findings showing that reduced superior frontal gyrus, including the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, activation during processing of shapes in the context of fearful face distractors predicted greater change in anxiety severity, measured via the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale, pretreatment to posttreatment. Association between anxiety symptom change, measured via the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale, pre-to-post treatment and superior frontal gyrus (SFG) activation (mean blood-oxygen-level-dependent parameter estimates; a.u. = arbitrary units) during a) Match Shapes [Fear] > Match Faces [Fear], b) Match Shape [Fear] > Baseline (Implicit Processing), c) Match Faces [Fear] > Baseline (Explicit Processing).
