Subclaims¶

q3 i? ERP amplitude is more negative for incongruent than congruent trials and for No-Go than Go trials at frontal sites, with larger negativity at midline leads. → Checa 2011

Evidence¶

Checa 2011¶

Checa, P., & Rueda, M. R. (2011). Behavioral and Brain Measures of Executive Attention and School Competence in Late Childhood. Developmental Neuropsychology. https://doi.org/10.1080/87565641.2011.591857

q3 · i? · associational · r1

ERP ANOVAs in 27 children with usable EEG data from the combined Flanker-Go/No-Go task. The study reports "larger negative amplitude for incongruent ( −.8 μV) compared to congruent (.23 μV) trials" and larger negativity for No-Go (−3.4 μV) than Go (−2 μV) trials.

"For amplitude, the main effect of Flanker Type was significant ( F(1, 26) = 13.68; p < .001), indicating larger negative amplitude for incongruent ( −.8 μV) compared to congruent (.23 μV) trials."

• Children show larger and more sustained frontal ERP conflict effects than adults, indicating less efficient executive attention — related
