The neural correlates of inhibitory control in preschool children: Go/No-Go task demands influence ERP amplitude and latency

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: MethodThe sample included 25 preschool children (15 girls, 10 boys) who ranged in age from 5.01 to 6.01 years (mean 5.68 years)Children were fitted with a 128-channel EGI Hydrocel Geodesic Sensor Net, and then completed the Go/No-Go task after a short practice phase.In the Go/No-Go task, the child pressed a button to "catch" fish stimuli within a set time (75% of trials), but had to inhibit the button response for shark stimuli (25% of trials).Children in the "Slow" condition had 1500 msec to respond, whereas children in the "Fast" condition had to respond within 750 msec of stimulus onset No Go trials, and followed either 2 or 4 Go stimuli Children completed 160 trials ("Slow" condition) or 200 trials ("Fast" condition; more trials were added to compensate for poorer behavioral performance, because ERP waveforms were created using only correct trials)
