Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Antisaccade error rates and latencies fall steeply through childhood with a lower but significant slope through adolescence, stabilizing in adulthood, and intra-subject variability decreases with age. → Constantinidis Christos 2019

q2 · i? · review · r3
The review reports, citing multiple studies, that antisaccade developmental trajectories are curvilinear with inverse-function best fits, depicting "steep decreases in error rates" through childhood and a lower but significant adolescent slope, confirmed in a longitudinal study of ages 8 to 30.
"The developmental trajectory is curvilinear [14,25–27], and an inverse function provides best fits to it [6,14,26]."

Related Claims¶
- In the one longitudinal fMRI study, dorsolateral prefrontal engagement reached adult levels by adolescence while dorsal anterior cingulate engagement continued increasing and mediated behavioral improvement — related
- Verbal working memory shows non-linear growth from ages 3–19, with the most rapid growth during childhood and a brief accelerated period during early adolescence — related
- Monkey neurophysiology shows adolescent-to-adult antisaccade improvement reflects enhanced representation of the goal and vector inversion, not stronger filtering of the stimulus — related
- P1 latency for nonlinguistic auditory probes decreases with age from childhood through adulthood — related
