Reward feedback processing in children and adolescents: medial frontal theta oscillations.

Text

a more robust FDR statistical threshold. Recent adolescent neuroimaging studies reward processing and feedback learning have collapsed across these age ranges (Cohen et al., 2010; Galvan et al., 2006; van de Vijver et al., 2011), but our data suggest there may be important maturational changes in reward processing across adolescence. Another consideration was the effects of menstrual cycle on reward processing (Dreher et al., 2007). Few if any studies examining the FRN and reward-related feedback control for the effects of luteal phase. This question, while important, is probably best suited to a study that explicitly assesses females with a regular menstruation cycle, at different luteal phases. Of some relevance, we did not observe sex effects in this study, for ITC or ERSP. Finally, because our sample ranged from 10-17 years, we can only generalize to these age groups. An adult sample is clearly warranted for comparisons to our older group.
