Inhibition and Working Memory: A Latent Variable Analysis During Adolescence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inhibition and Working Memory (WM) are two core dimensions of executive functions (EF). These processes seem develop until late adolescence (Huizinga, Dolan & Van der Molen, 2006; Crone, Bunge, Van der Molen & Ridderinkhof, 2006) but it is still quite unclear how these abilities do organize in this great time of changes for the human brain. The aim of the study is to investigate how inhibition and WM organize during adolescence. CFA results, consistently with literature, show that Inhibition and WM seem to cluster in separable factors and seem to be as well strongly related.

متن کاملPredictive validity of the N2 and P3 ERP components to executive functioning in children: a latent-variable analysis
Executive functions (EFs) are commonly theorized to be related yet separable constructs in adults, and specific EFs, such as prepotent response inhibition and working memory, are thought to have clear and distinct neural underpinnings. However, recent evidence suggests that EFs are unitary in children up to about 9 years of age. The aim of the current study was to test the hypothesis that peaks...
