Analyses consisted of a condition (2: no win vs. win) × age (3: 10-12 years, 13-14 years, 15-17 years) × sex (2: male, female) repeated measures analysis of variance. Because sex did not account for significant variance in any model at the level of individual ANOVAs, this factor was dropped from subsequent analyses. Type III repeated measures ANOVAs were conducted on each of the 288 dependent measures within the R statistical package (R version 2.15.2), which were then subjected to false discovery rate correction (Benjamini & Hochberg, 1995). ERSP values were directly exported from EEGLAB as dependent measures in the ANOVAs. However, because ITC values reflect a correlation-like measure, bounded by 0 and 1, these values were Fisher r-to-z transformed prior to statistical analysis.
