“…The no-go N2-P3 complex is consistently seen over fronto-central scalp sites on trials requiring response inhibition, 200-600 msec after no-go stimulus onset. Although their functions are debated, there is consensus that the N2 component probably indexes aspects of response selection or conflict detection that signal the need for response inhibition (Falkenstein, 2006;Kok, Ramautar, De Ruiter, Band, & Ridderinkhof, 2004) while the latency and amplitude of the P3 have been shown to predict successful inhibitions in keeping with Logan's (1994) race model of inhibition (Bekker, Overtoom, et al, 2005;Bekker, Kenemans, & Verbaten, 2004;Falkenstein, Hoomann, & Hohnsbein, 1999). Hence, the findings of Dockree et al suggest a reduced requirement for response inhibition in the SART fixed .…”

Abstract& Disentangling the component processes that contribute to human executive control is a key challenge for cognitive neuroscience. Here, we employ event-related potentials to provide electrophysiological evidence that action errors during a go/ no-go task can result either from sustained attention failures or from failures of response inhibition, and that these two processes are temporally and physiologically dissociable, although the behavioral error-a nonintended response-is the same. Thirteen right-handed participants performed a version of a go/no-go task in which stimuli were presented in a fixed and predictable order, thus encouraging attentional drift, and a second version in which an identical set of stimuli was presented in a random order, thus placing greater emphasis on response inhibition. Electrocortical markers associated with goal maintenance (late positivity, alpha synchronization) distinguished correct and incorrect performance in the fixed condition, whereas errors in the random condition were linked to a diminished N2-P3 inhibitory complex. In addition, the amplitude of the error-related negativity did not differ between correct and incorrect responses in the fixed condition, consistent with the view that errors in this condition do not arise from a failure to resolve response competition. Our data provide an electrophysiological dissociation of sustained attention and response inhibition. &

“…'X') appears. In the cued variant of the go/nogo task (Band, Ridderinkhof, van der Molen, 2003;Bekker, Kenemans & Verbaten, 2004;Bruin, Wijers, & van Staveren, 2001;Jonkman, Lansbergen & Stauder, 2003;Randall & Smith, 2011;Smith, Jonstone & Barry, 2006), a cue provides information about which response is probably required and subjects are asked to prepare this response (a key press with a left finger, a right finger, or no response). Whether or not the cued response is subsequently required is clarified by a second stimulus that follows after a variable delay.…”

“…The alerting network serves the function of reaching and maintaining the state of alertness. It has been associated with frontal and parietal regions of the right hemisphere for sustained or tonic alertness, and the left hemisphere in conditions in which the level of alertness is increased by warning cues (Bekker, Kenemans, & Verbaten, 2004;Coull, Frith, Büchel, & Nobre, 2000). The orienting network is involved in shifting attention and selecting sensory events for preferential processing.…”

“…Commonly, a series of evoked potentials can be recorded from as soon as 10 ms after the presentation of auditory signals (Picton, Hillyard, Krausz, & Galambos, 1974). From about 50 to 250 ms following the tone, a midline-distributed series of component with different polarity (i.e., P1, N1 and P2) can be observed, which has been associated with early attentional preparation, reflecting automatic sensory activation/orientation processes (Bekker et al, 2004;Jonkman, 2006). Alerting cues also elicit a slow negative electrical brain wave, called the contingent negative variation (CNV), occurring at the interval between presentation of the cue and the imperative stimulus (Walter, Cooper, Aldridge, McCallum, & Winter, 1964).…”

Electrophysiological correlates of attention networks in childhood and early adulthood

a b s t r a c tAttention has been related to functions of alerting, orienting, and executive control, which are associated with distinct brain networks. This study aimed at understanding the neural mechanisms underlying the development of attention functions during childhood. A total of 46 healthy 4-13-year-old children and 15 adults performed an adapted version of the Attention Network Task (ANT) while brain activation was registered with a high-density EEG system. Performance of the ANT revealed changes in the efficiency of attention networks across ages. While no differences were observed on the alerting score, both orienting and executive attention scores showed a more protracted developmental curve. Further, age-related differences in brain activity were mostly observed in early ERP components. Young children had poorer early processing of warning cues compared to 10-13-year-olds and adults, as shown by an immature auditory-evoked potential complex elicited by warning tones. Also, 4-6-year-olds exhibited a poorer processing of orienting cues as indexed by lack of modulation of the N1. Finally, flanker congruency produced earlier modulation of ERPs amplitude with age. Flanker congruency effects were delayed and more anteriorly distributed for young children, compared to adults who showed a clear modulation of the N2 in fronto-parietal channels. Additionally, interactions among attention networks were examined. Both alerting and orienting conditions modulated the effectiveness of conflict processing by the executive attention network. The Orienting Â Executive networks interactions was only observed after about age 7. Results are informative of the neural correlates of the development of attention networks in childhood.
