Neural Responsivity to Unexpected Stimuli Moderates a Developmental Pathway to Anxiety: A Community-Sample Replication in Early Infancy and Childhood

Background: Temperamental risk, including negative reactivity (NR) and behavioral inhibition (BI), represents a robust early pathway to anxiety. Neural responsivity to unexpected sensory stimuli, indexed by the mismatch response (MMR), has been shown to moderate associations linking early temperament to later anxiety....
