Neural bases of social feedback processing and self–other distinction in late childhood: The role of attachment and age

Attachment plays a key role in how children process information about the self and others. Here, we examined the neural bases of interindividual differences in attachment in late childhood and tested whether social cognition-related neural activity varies as function of age. In a small sample of 8-year-old to 12-year-old children ( n = 21/19), we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure neural responses during social feedback...
