Subclaims¶

q2 i? In a cross-sectional cohort of 640 children, higher EATQ-R self-regulation scores were significantly associated with more proactive response slowing, regardless of sex. → 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 · i? · associational · r3

Regression analysis in the YOUth cohort linking the EATQ-R inhibitory-control scale to task behavior found "a significant relation between self-regulation and proactive response slowing on the task, F(1, 533) = 6.48, p = 0.01". No effect size was printed. There was no main effect of self-regulation on SSRT (F(1, 536) = 0.43, p = 0.51).

"However, we did find a significant relation between self-regulation and proactive response slowing on the task, F(1, 533) = 6.48, p = 0.01, regardless of sex F(1, 533) = 0.54, p = 0.46 (Fig. 2)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Self-Regulation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Pre-adolescent children already exhibit proactive inhibitory control, slowing responses as stop-signal probability increases — related
• Reactive inhibition speed and accuracy improve with age between 8 and 11 years, while proactive response slowing does not increase with age — related
• Higher self-regulation in pre-adolescent children is associated with stronger right mid frontal cortex activation during proactive inhibition — 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
• 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
• Parent-reported inhibitory control (EATQ-R) shows no detectable growth from early to middle adolescence — related
