🔍Key findings about Aadolescents:
➡️ Slower learning from feedback (lower learning rate)

➡️ More variable choices (lower inverse temperature)

➡️ Stronger reliance on fronto-striatal brain connectivity

Our work explores how adolescents’ developing brain networks influence reward learning. We compared adolescents (13–16) and adults (30–40) using a reward-learning task and resting-state fMRI, analyzed with a hierarchical Bayesian model.

Developmental differences in reward-learning and its connection to resting-state functional connectivity modeled using a hierarchical Bayesian model - PubMed Adolescence is a period of heightened sensation-seeking, risk-taking, and reward sensitivity, characterized by structural and functional changes in the brain. Developmental changes in functional connectivity between cortical and subcortical regions may refine communication within reward-related circ …
