“…Recently, we replicated this association in adolescents as well as in adults (Ripke et al, 2012) and did not observe differences between both age groups. Thus, interindividual differences in value-dependent processing and temporal discounting may be more related to other factors of individual differences than chronological age.…”

“…BOLD responses in brain regions, such as the ventral striatum ( VS), ventromedial pFC, and posterior cingulate cortex, have been found to correlate with the subjective values of delayed rewards (Peters & Buchel, 2009;Kable & Glimcher, 2007). In addition, value-dependent processes have also been found to be associated with frontal regions, such as the perigenual ACC and the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG; Ripke et al, 2012;Hare, Camerer, & Rangel, 2009;Kable & Glimcher, 2007). On the other hand, intertemporal choice also relies on the process of comparing alternative options (Hoffman et al, 2008;Monterosso et al, 2007;McClure, Laibson, Loewenstein, & Cohen, 2004).…”

“…Low consistency of choices might be because of attentional fluctuations or limited WM capacity. Recently, we demonstrated that high consistency of intertemporal choices is associated with higher BOLD responses in a frontoparietal brain network as well as with completed brain maturation after adolescence (Ripke et al, 2012). Furthermore, the consistency in behavioral responses of choice RT tasks increases during child development (Li et al, 2004) and is associated with the maturation of performance monitoring (Li, Hammerer, Muller, Hommel, & Lindenberger, 2009) as well as dopamine D2 receptor binding in ACC in adults (MacDonald, Cervenka, Farde, Nyberg, & Backman, 2009).…”

Converging behavioral evidence indicates that temporal discounting, measured by intertemporal choice tasks, is inversely related to intelligence. At the neural level, the parieto-frontal network is pivotal for complex, higher-order cognitive processes. Relatedly, underrecruitment of the pFC during a working memory task has been found to be associated with steeper temporal discounting. Furthermore, this network has also been shown to be related to the consistency of intertemporal choices. Here we report an fMRI study that directly investigated the association of neural correlates of intertemporal choice behavior with intelligence in an adolescent sample (n = 206; age 13.7-15.5 years). After identifying brain regions where the BOLD response during intertemporal choice was correlated with individual differences in intelligence, we further tested whether BOLD responses in these areas would mediate the associations between intelligence, the discounting rate, and choice consistency. We found positive correlations between BOLD response in a value-independent decision network (i.e., dorsolateral pFC, precuneus, and occipital areas) and intelligence. Furthermore, BOLD response in a value-dependent decision network (i.e., perigenual ACC, inferior frontal gyrus, ventromedial pFC, ventral striatum) was positively correlated with intelligence. The mediation analysis revealed that BOLD responses in the value-independent network mediated the association between intelligence and choice consistency, whereas BOLD responses in the value-dependent network mediated the association between intelligence and the discounting rate. In summary, our findings provide evidence for common neural correlates of intertemporal choice and intelligence, possibly linked by valuation as well as executive functions.

“…In a study comparing adolescents and adults it was found that adults made more consistent decisions. Compared to adolescents, adults showed more parietal cortex activation during decision making on a hypothetical delay discounting task, which was associated with more consistent decision making (Ripke et al, 2012). Another developmental study showed that older participants showed stronger functional connectivity between ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and striatal areas during selection of immediate options (Christakou et al, 2011).…”

Appropriate reactions toward emotional stimuli depend on the distribution of prefrontal attentional resources. In mid-adolescence, prefrontal top-down control systems are less engaged, while subcortical bottom-up emotional systems are more engaged. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to follow the neural development of attentional distribution, i.e. attending versus ignoring emotional stimuli, in adolescence. 144 healthy adolescents were studied longitudinally at age 14 and 16 while performing a perceptual discrimination task. Participants viewed two pairs of stimuli--one emotional, one abstract--and reported on one pair whether the items were the same or different, while ignoring the other pair. Hence, two experimental conditions were created: "attending emotion/ignoring abstract" and "ignoring emotion/attending abstract". Emotional valence varied between negative, positive, and neutral. Across conditions, reaction times and error rates decreased and activation in the anterior cingulate and inferior frontal gyrus increased from age 14 to 16. In contrast, subcortical regions showed no developmental effect. Activation of the anterior insula increased across ages for attending positive and ignoring negative emotions. Results suggest an ongoing development of prefrontal top-down resources elicited by emotional attention from age 14 to 16 while activity of subcortical regions representing bottom-up processing remains stable.
