-
Third-party punishment decisions recruit distinct cognitive and emotional networks including the vmPFC, IPL, insula, and amygdala, with developmentally specific activation and connectivity patterns.
-
Adults integrate inferred intention and punishment efficacy into moral judgments, while children rely more on intuitive, outcome-insensitive decision strategies.
-
Amygdala and vmPFC activity reflects sensitivity to intentionality, emerging gradually with age and supporting the transition from reactive to context-sensitive moral reasoning.
-
Inter- and intra-regional connectivity across these regions underlies the integration of inferred intention and punishment outcomes, strengthening with age and correlating with adaptive decision-making in adults.
-
Developmental refinement of inter- and intra-regional circuits underpins the maturation of moral judgment, with implications for understanding age-related differences in legal and moral responsibility.
