Linear regression predicting delay of gratification skills at T2 using delay of gratification skills (AUC normalized), age, FA, and MD at T1
| B | SE | β | p | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Constant | −0.996 | 0.772 | 0.199 | |
| T1 AUC (normalized) | 0.463 | 0.059 | 0.504 | 0.000 |
| T1 Age | 0.003 | 0.005 | 0.048 | 0.473 |
| T1 FA of the FS-tract | 1.970 | 0.922 | 0.158 | 0.034 |
| T1 MD of the FS-tract | 726.143 | 766.871 | 0.064 | 0.345 |
FA of the frontostriatal (FS) tract explains 8.8% of the variance in delay discounting performance at T2 without correcting for discounting performance at T1. The proportion of explained variance by FA of the FS-tract at T1 in delay discounting performance at T2, on top of delay discounting behavior at T1, is 2%.
