Abstract

Adolescence is a period marked by changes in motivational and cognitive brain systems. However, the development of the interactions between reward and cognitive control processing are just beginning to be understood. Using event-related functional neuroimaging and an incentive modulated antisaccade task, we compared blood-oxygen level dependent activity underlying motivated response inhibition in children, adolescents, and adults. Behaviorally, children and adolescents performed significantly worse than adults during neutral trials. However, children and adolescents showed significant performance increases during reward trials. Adults showed no performance changes across conditions. fMRI results demonstrated that all groups recruited a similar circuitry to support task performance, including regions typically associated with rewards (striatum and orbital frontal cortex), and regions known to be involved in inhibitory control (putative frontal and supplementary eye fields, and posterior parietal cortex, and prefrontal loci). During rewarded trials adolescents showed increased activity in striatal regions, while adults demonstrated heightened activation in the OFC relative to children and adolescents. Children showed greater reliance on prefrontal executive regions that may be related to increased effort inhibiting responses. Overall, these results indicate that response inhibition is enhanced with reward contingencies over development. Adolescents’ heightened response in striatal regions may be one factor contributing to reward-biased decision making and perhaps risk taking behavior.

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Adolescent behavior is distinct from childhood and adulthood, as shown by more frequent sub-optimal or immature decision-making.

    “Adolescent behavior is distinct from childhood and adulthood, as evidenced by heightened incidents of sub-optimal or immature decision-making”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Unique immaturities in adolescents often lead to a peak in risk-taking behavior.

    “Although adolescents have improved decision making skills compared to children, unique immaturities exist that often result in a peak in risk taking behavior”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The laboratory findings on reward-related brain activity and inhibitory control generalize to real-world risk-taking and suboptimal behaviors in adolescence.

    “In this manner, these results suggest that the circuitry that supports executive assessment of rewards and modulation of motivation may still be immature in adolescence and contribute to the high rate of risk-taking in adolescence.”
    “Taken together, these findings indicate immaturities in the developing brain that could be especially vulnerable to risk taking and other suboptimal behaviors during adolescence.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Age-related differences in brain activity reflect developmental changes rather than other age-correlated factors.

    “Results indicated several age-related differences in the magnitude of recruitment of this circuitry suggesting unique developmental profiles of reward processing and its influence on cognitive control in adolescence.”
    “However, immaturities in regions associated with reward reactivity and executive assessment appear to follow a non-linear developmental trajectory from childhood through adolescence into adulthood.”

Statistics that don’t add up

Each reported p-value recomputed from its test statistic and degrees of freedom.

  • Inconsistent p-value across alpha = .05: t(9) = 2.26, p < .0001

    Major

    The paper reports p < .0001 here; recomputing from the test statistic and its degrees of freedom gives p = .050 (two-tailed). The two fall on opposite sides of alpha = .05. The check cannot tell whether the statistic or the p-value is the misprint.

    Minor

    The paper reports p < .001 here; recomputing from the test statistic and its degrees of freedom gives p = .001 (two-tailed). The reported value is what a one-tailed test gives, but the paper does not say near this result that a one-tailed test was used.

  • The reported latency F statistic is incompatible with the three group t statistics

    Major

    The paper reports t = 2.26 for the reward-versus-neutral latency comparison in each of the three groups. With ten participants per group, those statistics put an upper bound of approximately 3 × 2.262 = 15.32 on the pooled incentive F statistic, far below the reported 209.618. The stated p<.0001 for each t(9) = 2.26 is also too small.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
