Abstract: Childhood is marked by profound changes in prosocial behaviour. The underlying motivational mechanisms remain poorly understood. We investigated the development of altruistically motivated helping in middle childhood and the neurocognitive and ‐affective mechanisms driving this development. One‐hundred and twenty seven 6–12 year‐old children performed a novel gustatory costly helping task designed to measure altruistic motivations of helping behaviour. Neurocognitive and ‐affective mechanisms including emotion regulation, emotional clarity and attentional reorienting were assessed experimentally through an extensive task‐battery while functional brain activity and connectivity were measured during an empathy for taste paradigm and during rest. Altruistically motivated helping increased with age. Out of all mechanisms probed for, only emotional clarity increased with age and accounted for altruistically motivated helping. This was associated with greater functional integration of the empathy‐related network with fronto‐parietal brain regions at rest. We isolate a highly specific neuroaffective mechanism as the crucial driver of altruistically motivated helping during child development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
