What is the difference between explicit and implicit emotion regulation?

explicit: conscious strategies for regulating emotions

implicit: subconscious systems for the modification of emotion expressions

100

How many participants did this study recruit in total and how many remained part of the study?

129 recruited, 112 remained

What was suppression associated with in Ahmed et al.?

poorer organizational and problem solving skills

200

Which type of aggression was poor emotion regulation found to be more closely associated with?

Reactive aggression 

200

What is top down vs. bottom up processing?

bottom up: Stimulus shapes our perspective without preconceived notions

top down: Use background knowledge and prior info to interpret what we see

200

What task was used to measure executive function in Ahmed et al.?

the go/no-go task

What areas of the brain become more activated with age?
Dorsomedial PFC

In Silvers et al., what is the type of processing used by children compared to adolescents?

children: bottom-up, amygdala based processing

adolescents: both bottom-up and top-down processing

400

True or false: the limbic system and prefrontal cortex change during adolescence

True 

400

Why wasn't a "close" or "far" method used for the task?

To have a more ecologically sound study 
400

True or false: in Silvers et al., it was found that age is associated with increased emotional responses to stimuli

false

500

What are the 3 steps necessary for fully functional emotion regulation?

1.) Recognize the emotional significance of perceived stimuli

2.) Appreciate/see the value of why regulation is necessary

3.) Select and implement an appropriate strategy to modify emotional response.

500

Which participants found all stimuli to be more salient regardless of neutral or aversive?

children/younger people

What 2 explanations have been proposed as to why there is a reduction in the PFC’s cortical grey matter volume, density, and thickness during adolescence?

may indicate synaptic pruning or may reflect an artifact of increased intra-cortical axon myelination
