fMRI results of cognitive flexibility comparisons.
<p>(A): Axial slices and line graphs showing significant group (Anorexia Nervosa, Healthy Control) x event (Efficient Shift [<i>Eff-Sh</i>], First Correct [<i>F-Corr</i>]) interactions of BOLD response (SSQ value) in the left middle frontal gyrus (BA9, Peak activation Talairach coordinates = -40, 22, 26, cluster size = 14, p = 0.0069), left inferior precuneus (BA7, Peak activation Talairach coordinates = -25, -56, 26, cluster size = 34, p = 0.0029) and left superior parietal lobule extending into the precuneus (BA7, Peak activation Talairach coordinates = -18, -67, 48, cluster size = 17, p = 0.0078). (B): Sagittal slices and bar charts illustrating the BOLD response during <i>SiS-P</i> and <i>Rec-P</i> and corresponding activity during <i>Eff-Sh</i> in the left middle frontal gyrus, left inferior precuneus and left superior parietal lobule. Functional data were thresholded to yield less than 1 false positive cluster per map and overlaid onto a high resolution single subject T1 structural image in Talairach space.</p

Time course of a WCST trial and events of interest for behavioural and fMRI analysis.
<p>Each example presents the current rule chosen by the program (‘correct rule’) with concurrent trial-by-trial participant responses (‘chosen rule’), illustrating different WCST ‘event types’. Note that for event-related fMRI analysis, each event is modelled as the period between two consecutive responses and the ‘event type’ is defined by the combination of the two responses. EXAMPLE A: I) Efficient Shifts (<i>Eff-Sh</i>) were when participants changed sorting rules following negative feedback to one that had not been previously tested. II) Stuck-in-set perseverations (<i>SiS-P</i>) occurred if the same sorting rule that was incorrect in the previous trial was applied in the subsequent trial. III) First correct sort (<i>F-Corr</i>) of a new set. IV) Second correct sort (<i>S-Corr</i>) follows first correct sort. V) fMRI baseline (<i>Baseline</i>) was designated as trials 3–8 of a string of 8 consecutive correct sorts. EXAMPLE B: VI) Recurrent perseverations (<i>Rec-P</i>) constituted shifts to another sorting rule following incorrect feedback, but to one that had been tested two trials previously and already fed back as incorrect. EXAMPLE C: VII) Error Set trials (<i>Error Set</i>) were correct sorts not included as baseline trials due to occurrence of ‘loss of set’ errors within that particular set. VIII) Loss of set (<i>Loss of set</i>) trials are shifts to a different rule following positive feedback.</p
