Table.

Studies are ordered first by year and second by alphabetical order. Only studies that reported contrasts (i.e., not only functional connectivity or correlational analyses) for psychologically healthy individuals are included here. If a study included a patient sample but still reported results for its healthy adult controls separately, it was included. Column labels: Study=study listed in references; For Participants, HYA= healthy young adult participants typically 18-30 yrs old, HOA=healthy older adults participants typically aged 60 years or older; HC=healthy adult control participants matched to patients; For Design, Goal=Goal pursued by participants to increase or decrease emotional responses, Valence=Positive or negatively valenced emotional stimuli, Tactic=Type of reappraisal used - distancing or reinterpreting, Stim Type=stimulus type, Timing of reapp cue=timing of instruction cue to reappraise relative to onset of stimulus, where early is just prior to simulus onset and late is a few seconds after stimulus onset; Amygdala?=whether modulation of amygdala was reported.

Notes: All studies used event-related designs (different types of trials are presented in a randomized fashion so as to estimate responses on a trial-by-trial basis) except the nine studies designated by * in the ‘Timing of reapp cue’ column, which indicates that they used a block design (trials are ‘blocked’ by type, such that many of one type appear consecutively). Also, for the stimulus type column, photo stimuli were drawn from the international affective picture system112 unless otherwise specified.

Abbreviations: Goal: Dec=Decrease, Inc=Increase, Both=Both increase and decrease conditions were used; Valence: Neg=Negative, Pos=Positive, Both=Both positive and negative stimuli were used; Strategy: Both: Both distancing and reinterpreting were used (this only applies to Ochsner, 2004) or participants were given choice of distancing or reappraising; Dist=Become more or less psychologically distant; Reint=Cognitively reinterpret; Unclear=Unclear as to what tactic was instructed.
