Neural correlates of audio-visual modal interference inhibition investigated in children by ERP

Abstract

In order to detect cross-sectional age characteristics of cognitive neural mechanisms in audio-visual modal interference inhibition, event-related potentials (ERP) of 14 10-year-old children were recorded while performing the words interference task. In incongruent conditions, the participants were required to inhibit the audio interference words of the same category. The present findings provided the preliminary evidence of brain mechanism for the children's inhibition development in the specific childhood stage. © 2011 The Author(s).
