Decrement in Stroop Interference Time with Age

Abstract: Interference time on the Stroop task was compared for 20 college and 20 elementary subjects. A decrement in interference time between groups was found and is consistent with E. Gibson's perceptual learning theory.

“…In addition, EEG evidence indicates that infants are already using frontal systems to support these inhibitory responses (Bell & Fox, 1992), despite the protracted development of these regions (Gogtay, Giedd, Lusk, Hayashi, Greenstein et al, 2004). However, there are continued improvements throughout childhood, consistent across different inhibitory tasks, in the rate of inhibitory responses (percent of correct responses).This continued development throughout childhood is evident on a number of behavioral tasks such as the antisaccade (Fischer, Biscaldi, & Gezeck, 1997; Munoz, Broughton, Goldring, & Armstrong, 1998; Fukushima, Hatta, & Fukushima, 2000; Klein & Foerster, 2001; Luna, Garver, Urban, Lazar, & Sweeney, 2004), Stroop (Tipper, Bourque, Anderson, & Brehaut, 1989; Wise, Sutton, & Gibbons, 1975), go-no-go (Levin, Culhane, Hartmann, Evankovich, & Mattson, 1991), stop-signal (Williams, Ponesse, Schachar, Logan, & Tannock, 1999; Ridderinkhof, Band, & Logan, 1999; Greenberg & Waldman, 1993), and Flanker tasks (Ridderinkhof, van der Molen, Band, & Bashore, 1997). In summary, behavioral studies of inhibitory performance through childhood indicate that what generally improves is the rate of correct inhibitory responses but not the ability to generate a correct inhibitory response (Williams, Ponesse, Schachar, Logan, & Tannock, 1999; Wise, Sutton, & Gibbons, 1975; Ridderinkhof, Band, & Logan, 1999; Bedard, Nichols, Barbosa, Schachar, Logan et al, 2002; Van den Wildenberg & van der Molen, 2004; Luna, Garver, Urban, Lazar, & Sweeney, 2004).…”

“…Moreover, there is evidence that these early processes are supported by frontal systems (Bell & Fox, 1992). Studies of inhibitory performance through childhood indicate that what improves is the rate of correct inhibitory responses, not the ability to generate a correct inhibitory response (Bedard et al ., 2002; Luna et al ., 2004; Ridderinkhof, Band, & Logan, 1999; Van den Wildenberg & van der Molen, 2004; Williams et al ., 1999; Wise, Sutton, & Gibbons, 1975). These results suggest that the neural components that support the basic ability to inhibit a response as an isolated event are available early in development.…”

“…The development of inhibition begins in infancy, when prepotent sensorimotor responses overrule cognitive plans 1. Response inhibition continues to improve throughout childhood as demonstrated by the ability to retain visual fixation,19 shift response set in the Go‐No‐Go task,2,20 attend to the variable of interest in the Stroop task,20,21 and interrupt a planned behavior in stop signal tasks 12,24,25. It is also observed to diminish in the aged as demonstrated by the inability to inhibit responses to distractors 25‐27.…”
