For each participant, retinotopic visual areas (V1, V2, V3, V3A, V3B, V4, V7), LOC, and hMT+ were identified using well established procedures previously described in the study by Wong et al. (2020) (link).
Stimuli were presented in E-Prime 1.1 (Psychology Software Tools) via an E-Sys presentation system (Philips Medical Systems) for the first 48 subjects (i.e., before scanner upgrade), placed at the back of the bore, and viewed using a front-surfaced mirror mounted on the head coil. After the upgrade, the final 16 subjects viewed stimuli presented using a PROpixx DLP LED projector (VPixx Technologies) that was side projected to a mirror placed behind the bore. The mirror image was then projected to a second screen placed directly at the base of the bore. Participants viewed the stimuli through a front-surfaced mirror.
Head movement was limited by foam padding within the head coil. All scan protocols and screening of participants adhered to the strict restrictions of the Imaging Unit. One fMRI session lasted 45 min.

Stimuli presentation was controlled by the software E-Prime 1.1 (Psychology Software Tools, Inc., Sharpsburg, PA, USA). The melodies were divided into two blocks: one block for melodies in the single-key condition and one block for melodies in the mixed-key condition. Within each block, melodies were played by Philips SHE1360 headphones in a pseudorandom order such that the same melodies with different endings were separated by at least three different melodies. Block order was balanced across participants.
In the tension perception task, after listening to each melody, participants were asked to rate the perceived tension of each melody as a whole by moving the needle of the continuous response digital interface dial (Madsen & Fredrickson, 1993 (link)), which ranged from “0” on the left side (least tension) to “255” on the right side (most tension). In the tension experience task, participants were required to rate the felt tension induced by the whole melody. To reduce the effect of familiarity, the experience task was conducted 6 months after participants completed the perception task. Prior to the experiment, participants were given two practice trials for each task and adjusted the sound volume to their most comfortable listening level.

All stimuli were presented against a gray (RGB: 128, 128, 128) background at the center of a 17-inch Lenovo CRT monitor (frequency 70 Hz, resolution 1024 × 768) with the E-prime 1.1 software package (Psychology Software Tools, Pittsburgh, PA). Participants were seated ~60 cm from the computer screen and performed a masked Stroop priming task, in which the primes were four Chinese color words (“red”, “yellow”, ”blue”, ”green”) printed in white that appeared in Song font (font size 36), extending a visual angle of 0.96° × 1.05°. Masks were constructed by first overlapping the four color words, then one of them was randomly selected and inverted (visual angle: 1.06° × 1.16°). The targets were four color patches (“red”, “yellow”, ”blue”, ”green”) with the same size as the masks (Fig. 1A,B ).

The IGT was conducted on a PC using a customized program written using E-PRIME 1.1 software (Psychology Software Tools, Pittsburgh, PA, USA). In the present study, the original version of the IGT was employed [30 (link)], with modification to allow use in event-related fMRI analysis [31 (link)-33 (link, link)]. All participants completed 10 sessions of the IGT with 10 trials in each session, and participants could rest between sessions when lying in the scanner. Each session lasted for three and a half minutes. After some prior scans, we determined that 3.5 minutes was a long enough duration in which to complete 10 trials. This procedure was as reported in our previous study [8 (link),29 (link)].

The 2008 dataset was collected using a Siemens TIM Trio 3T MRI scanner equipped with a 12-channel head coil. E-Prime 1.1 was used to present task stimuli (Psychology Software Tools, Inc.). Participants recorded decisions to cooperate or defect using a hand-held, 4-button response box. A localizer and a manual shim procedure preceded each functional scan. A functional task-related blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) scan was acquired with a ZSAGA functional protocol. ZSAGA is a method for reducing the influence of susceptibility artifacts in echo planar imaging [34 (link)]. The number of volumes varied depending on time spent on task (participants spent variable amount of time completing emotional assessment questions); TR = 3,000 ms; TE 1 = 30 ms; TE 2 = 65.8ms; matrix size = 64 x 64mm; FA = 90°; 3.3 x 3.3x 3.3 mm3 voxels; 30 interleaved slices; FOV = 210 mm. A high-resolution anatomical image was also acquired using a T1-weighted standardized magnetization gradient echo sequence to aid spatial normalization (MPRAGE; sagittal plane; TR = 2300 ms; TE = 3.02 ms; matrix size = 256x256 mm, 1 mm3 isomorphic voxels, 176 interleaved slices; FOV = 256 mm; flip angle 8°).

The experiment was run in E-Prime 1.1 (Psychology Software Tools, Sharpsburg, PA) using a PC and a 17'' CRT monitor. Each trial started with the presentation of a pattern mask ("#######") presented in 18 point bold style Times New Roman font for 507 ms (38 monitor refreshes at 75 Hz).
The mask was followed by the prime presented in 15 point bold style lower case Courier New font for 40 ms (3 monitor refreshes at 75 Hz), after which the target was presented until a response was made. The target was presented in the same font as the prime, but in upper case. The participant sat at ~60 cm from the monitor was asked to press on a standard 'qwerty' keyboard the 'm' key if the target stimulus was a word and the 'c' key if it was not a word. The testing session started with a short block of 24 practice trials and continued with 360 experimental trials in 6 blocks of 60 trials each; the order of conditions was randomised.

Assessing Working Memory in Young Children

To assess working memory, each child completed the Nebraska Barnyard task from an executive function battery by Wiebe et al. (2011) (link). The task was administered on a touchpad screen and run in E-Prime 1.1 (Psychology Software Tools, 2018 ). This measure is a suitable assessment of memory for our age because the responses reliably display appropriate distributional properties from 36 months (Wiebe et al., 2011 (link)), and because 4-year-olds perform at floor on equivalently complex measures of working memory (Gathercole et al., 2004 (link)). Scoring was according to Wiebe et al. (2011) (link).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
