Fig. 2: Reward and punishment responding across stimulus repetitions, by age and pubertal stage.

From: Action initiation and punishment learning differ from childhood to adolescence while reward learning remains stable

Fig. 2

a Proportion of ‘go’ responses to reward stimuli across repeated stimulus presentations, for three age groups. b Proportion of ‘go’ responses to punishment stimuli across repeated stimulus presentations, for three age groups. c Proportion of ‘go’ responses to reward stimuli across repetitions, by pubertal stage. d Proportion of ‘go’ responses to punishment stimuli across repetitions, by pubertal stage. In all panels, points represent means and error bars are 95% confidence intervals of the mean. N = 200 aged 9–12, 303 aged 13–15, and 239 aged 16–18. Dashed lines indicate chance performance. Note that ‘go’ responses are correct for reward and incorrect for punishment stimuli; thus, learning is demonstrated by increasing responses to reward and decreasing responses to punishment stimuli.
