Learning to control behavior when receiving feedback underlies social adaptation in childhood and adolescence, and is potentially strengthened by environmental support factors, such as parents. This study examined the neural development of responding to social feedback from childhood to adolescence, and effects of parental sensitivity on this development. We studied these questions in a 3-wave longitudinal fMRI sample (ages 7-13 years, n = 512). We measured responses to feedback using the fMRI Social Network Aggression Task through noise blasts following peer feedback and associated neural activity, and parental sensitivity using observations of parent-child interactions during Etch-a-Sketch. Results revealed largest reductions in noise blasts following positive feedback between middle and late childhood and following negative feedback between late childhood and early adolescence. Additionally, brain-behavior associations between dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activation and noise blast durations became more differentiated across development. Parental sensitivity was only associated with noise blast duration following positive feedback in childhood, but not in adolescence. There was no relation between parental sensitivity and neural activity. Our findings contribute to our understanding of neural development and individual differences in responding to social feedback, and the role of parenting in supporting children's adaption to social feedback.
学习在接受反馈时控制行为是儿童和青少年社会适应的基础，并且可能会受到环境支持因素的增强，例如父母。本研究考察了从儿童期到青春期对社会反馈的反应的神经发育，以及父母敏感性对这种发育的影响。我们通过 fMRI 社会网络攻击任务，使用 fMRI 研究了 3 波纵向 fMRI 样本（年龄 7-13 岁，n=512）中的这些问题。我们通过在同伴反馈后用噪音爆破来测量对反馈的反应，并用 Etch-a-Sketch 期间的亲子互动观察来测量父母敏感性。结果表明，从中期到后期，积极反馈后，以及从后期到青春期早期，消极反馈后，噪音爆破的减少幅度最大。此外，背外侧前额叶皮层激活与噪音爆破持续时间之间的大脑-行为关联在整个发育过程中变得更加分化。父母敏感性仅与儿童期积极反馈后的噪音爆破持续时间相关，而与青春期无关。父母敏感性与神经活动之间没有关系。我们的研究结果有助于我们理解对社会反馈的反应的神经发育和个体差异，以及父母在支持儿童适应社会反馈方面的作用。
