Rule selection is an important skill for human social life. We previously showed that stimulus-appropriate rule selection ability is attainable by age 7, using a rule management task consisting of three conditions with different rule processing requirements (TaskA: control, TaskB: single rule selection, TaskC: multiple rule selection) (Harada et al. 2018). However, the neural development subserving this rule processing system is not well understood. Here, we examined that development in the appropriate rule selection process in 55 children aged 7 to 10 years (mean age 8.7 ± 0.9 years, 33 girls
