With much of the existing literature primarily focused on the periodic features of brain function, our understanding of aperiodic signals is still in its infancy. Here, we are the first to examine age-related changes in periodic (peak frequency and power) and aperiodic (slope and offset) activity using optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs), a new, wearable magnetoencephalography (MEG) technology that is particularly well-suited for studying development. We examined age-related changes in these spectral features in a sample (<em>N</em>=65) of toddlers (1–3 years), children (4–5 years), young adults (20–26 years), and adults (27–38 years). Consistent with the extant literature, we found significant age-related decreases in the aperiodic slope and offset, and changes in peak frequency and power that were frequency-specific; we are the first to show that the effect sizes of these changes also varied across brain regions. This work not only adds to the growing body of work highlighting the advantages of using OPMs, especially for studying development, but also contributes novel information regarding the variation of neurophysiological changes with age across the brain.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49083,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":"69 ","pages":"Article 101433"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187892932400094X/pdfft?md5=ec0874c68aea88a61a22268fc81c421d&pid=1-s2.0-S187892932400094X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141914297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using electroencephalography (EEG) and an implicit-association paradigm (Choose-A-Movie Task; Dubey et al., 2015), we examined how brain responses underlying socially motivated decisions informed future decisions in 54 youth (aged 10–14 years) and 50 young adults (aged 18–33 years).

Results suggested that both age groups preferred low-effort choices and increasingly preferred nonsocial choices over time. P3 amplitude also increased over time and was sensitive to effortful decisions, particularly for adults, but not social content. Both groups showed larger leftward frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) during nonsocial feedback, and FAA predicted future decisions differently for adults than youth.

While the trust we place in close others is crucial for our wellbeing, trust in strangers is important to fulfill needs that families and friends cannot provide. Adolescence is an important phase for the development of trust in strangers, because the social world of adolescents expands tremendously. We provide an overview of the development of trust in adolescence by reviewing studies that used the trust game, an experimental paradigm to measure trust between dyads during monetary exchange. We start from the notion that trust is a form of social reinforcement learning in which prior beliefs about the trustworthiness of others are continuously updated by new information. Within this framework, development in adolescence is characterized by increasing uncertainty of prior beliefs, a greater tolerance of uncertainty, and a greater tendency to seek and use new information. Accordingly, there is evidence for an increase in initial trust and better adaptation of trust during repeated interactions. Childhood psychological and social-economic adversity may impact this development negatively. To further our understanding of these individual differences, we suggest ways in which the trust game can be enriched to capture trust dilemmas that are relevant to youth with diverse backgrounds.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49083,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":"69 ","pages":"Article 101426"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1878929324000872/pdfft?md5=dbe8311b6938139c0d55c09e12f1bab1&pid=1-s2.0-S1878929324000872-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141914298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
