Abstract
fNIRS was used to investigate hemodynamic response in the PFC. College women responded to addition problems presented with either a correct or incorrect sum. Participants with low math anxiety had greater activation in medial PFC compared to participants with high math anxiety, but did not differ in lateral PFC areas.
