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 i1 Right mid frontal cortex activation during proactive inhibition was positively associated with self-regulation scores (r = 0.11), with no sex interaction. → Pas P. 2021
Evidence¶
Pas P. 2021¶
Pas P., Hulshoff Pol H.E., Raemaekers M., Vink M. (2021). Self-regulation in the pre-adolescent brain. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2021.101012
q2 · i1 · associational · r2
ROI regression in the 640-child cohort (Bonferroni-corrected across three ROIs) found frontal activation "was associated with self-regulation, F(1, 536) = 6.37, p = 0.01 (r = 0.11)". The small printed correlation corresponds to a small effect.
"activation in the right mid frontal cortex during proactive inhibition was associated with self-regulation, F(1, 536) = 6.37, p = 0.01 (r = 0.11), with no interaction effect for sex F(1, 536) = 0.07, p = 0.79"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Self-Regulation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Children aged 8–11 show significant activation in frontal-striatal-parietal regions during proactive inhibition and striatal activation during reactive inhibition, similar to regions reported in adults — related
- Self-regulation scores correlate with functional coupling between the right striatum and left motor cortex during reactive inhibition, but not frontostriatal coupling during proactive inhibition — related
- Children aged 8–11 with higher parent-rated self-regulation show more proactive response slowing on a stop-signal anticipation task — related
- Functional coupling development during inhibition is sex-specific: striatal-motor coupling increases with age in girls, frontostriatal coupling increases with age in boys — related
- Reactive inhibition speed and accuracy improve with age between 8 and 11 years, while proactive response slowing does not increase with age — related
- Pre-adolescent children already exhibit proactive inhibitory control, slowing responses as stop-signal probability increases — related
