Figures & data

Figure 1. (a) Degree of regret responsivity estimated for each age group. Significant effects of missed opportunities on regret responsivity were observed for 8-year-olds and adults, and a marginally significant effect for adolescents. The effect for 6-year-olds did not approach statistical significance. Error bars show 95% CIs. (b) Estimated regret responsivity as a function of age, as derived from the multi-level regression model, with regret responsivity interacting with log(age). Points show estimates for each participant. Line shows the estimated age × regret responsivity interaction term. Note that the x axis is loge scaled.
