Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Studies with explicitly controlled encoding tasks found age-related increases in DLPFC recruitment predicting subsequent recollection, whereas incidental-encoding studies found no or limited age differences in lateral PFC. → Ghetti Simona; Bunge Silvia A 2012

q2 · i? · review · r3
Review comparing four developmental fMRI encoding studies: Ofen et al. (2007) and Wendelken et al. (2011) used explicit instructions and found age-related DLPFC increases; Ghetti et al. (2010b) found increases only between 8 and 10 years, and Maril et al. (2010) found none from age 7 to 19. The article frames the task-engagement difference as a possibility, not a tested result.
"it is possible that age-related differences in PFC activation at encoding are most evident when the encoding task explicitly engages controlled processes involved in episodic encoding."
