Subclaims¶

q3 i? Accuracy on the go task was significantly affected by reward, with greater percent correct in the NO condition relative to LOW and HIGH, but the effect was mediated by task version and order of administration. → Sinopoli 2011

Evidence¶

Sinopoli 2011¶

Sinopoli, K.J., Schachar, R., & Dennis, M. (2011). Reward Improves Cancellation and Restraint Inhibition Across Childhood and Adolescence. Developmental Psychology, 47(5), 1479-89. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0024440

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Repeated measures ANOVA of go-trial accuracy across reward conditions and tasks. The article reports a significant reward effect with partial η2=0.079; only a test statistic is printed, so no effect size magnitude is coded.

"Accuracy on the go task was significantly affected by reward (linear effect, F(2, 78)= 3.352, p=0.040, partial η2=0.079), with greater percent correct in the NO condition relative to the LOW and HIGH conditions (see Table 3)."

• Children expressed more positive emotions in trials with high rewards compared to low rewards, validating the affect coding scheme — related
• Reward does not alter the speed or variability of response execution in either stop signal task — related
