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.
q3 i? Youths with better discrimination performance (Pr) show greater VS COR>INCOR activation. → Satterthwaite Theodore D. M.D. 2012

q3 · i? · associational · r2
VS ROI mixed-model analysis testing performance effects on COR>INCOR activation. Discrimination performance (Pr) "had a significant relationship with VS activation" [F(1,300)=7.77; p=0.0057; 10% variance explained].
"As in the across-level model, discrimination performance (Pr) had a significant relationship with VS activation [Figure 3B; F (1, 300)= 7.77; p=0.0057; 10% variance explained]."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In youth performing an n-back task without feedback, bilateral ventral striatum activates more strongly to correct than incorrect responses — related
- The VS correct-greater-than-incorrect response is present for both target and foil trials and is not a motor confound — related
- Working memory load degrades discrimination accuracy and slows responses in youth — related
- Ventral striatum activation to correct responses peaks in mid-adolescence at approximately age 16 — related
- Ventral striatum response to correct responses scales with working memory load in youth — related
