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? Inhibitory control is evident in infancy, and adolescent improvement lies in consistently recruiting inhibitory processes across trials rather than in the mere ability to inhibit. → Constantinidis Christos 2019

q2 · i? · review · r2
The review reports, citing Klenberg, that single correct inhibitory responses are available early and that developmental gains lie in the proportion of correct trials, implying that "the circuitry that can dampen reflexive sensorimotor responses" is available early in development.
"while the ability to generate a single correct inhibitory response is evident early in development, what improves through adolescence is the proportion of trials with correct inhibitory responses [16]."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Age and Developmental Stage — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Impending rewards improve adolescent antisaccade performance toward adult levels, accompanied by greater nucleus accumbens activation — related
- 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
- Monkey neurophysiology shows adolescent-to-adult antisaccade improvement reflects enhanced representation of the goal and vector inversion, not stronger filtering of the stimulus — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Better response inhibition (complex No-Go accuracy) is associated with longer reaction times on counterintuitive misconception trials, not better performance — related
