Table 2.

ICC values reported in developmental task-based longitudinal fMRI studies. Reliability: poor (<0.4), fair (0.41–0.59), good (0.6–0.74), and excellent (0.75–1) (Cicchetti, 2001). Region approach: ICC calculated for 1) ROIs − anatomically derived ROIs, 2) fMRI ROIs − functionally derived ROIs, or 3) at a voxelwise level. Numbering within the ICCs/ROIs column highlights differences between age groups or fMRI contrasts for a given study.
