Efficiency of evidence accumulation as a formal model-based measure of task-general executive functioning in adolescents.

Abstract: = 637, age = 7-19). EEA demonstrated reasonable stability across development and strong cross-task reliability. Reflecting traditional metrics, EEA related to self-reported effortful control and parent-reported attention, externalizing and total problems. EEA and one traditional metric (go/no-go standard deviation of reaction time) correlated with inhibition-related brain activation in the anterior cingulate cortex and the right superior temporal gyrus. These findings highlight the potential of EEA as a task-general, stable, biologically plausible measure of executive functioning in adolescents.
