“…Researchers (e.g., Diamond & Taylor, 1996;Gnys & Willis, 1991;Levin et al, 1991;Passler, Isaac, & Hynd, 1985;Zelazo et al, 1997) have used such tasks as the Tower of London, the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task, the go-no-go task, and delayed alternation to study developmental change in semantic associations, concept formation, mental flexibility, planning, and problem solving. We would argue that development in executive functioning greatly affects children's ability to play experimental games properly and most likely influenced performance on the cross-modal Stroop task.…”

“…Furthermore, children at this age differ from adults by other cognitive measures. They have smaller memory spans (Dempster, 1981;Schneider & Bjorklund, 1998), slower processing speed (Kail, 1991;Kail & Salthouse, 1994), and are notoriously poor at tasks which require the inhibition of dominant responses (Piaget, 1946;Flavell, 1986;Welsh, Pennington & Groisser, 1991;Passler, Isaac & Hynd, 1985;Permer & Wimmer, 1985;Hughes & Graham, 2002). …”

Cascading activation across levels of representation in children's lexical processing

Recent work in adult psycholinguistics has demonstrated that activation of semantic representations begins long before phonological processing is complete. This incremental propagation of information across multiple levels of analysis is a hallmark of adult language processing but how does this ability develop? In two experiments, we elicit measures of incremental activation of semantic representations during word recognition in children. Fiveyear-olds were instructed to select a target (logs) while their eye-movements were measured to a competitor (key) that was semantically related to an absent phonological associate (lock). We found that like adults, children made increased looks to competitors relative to unrelated control items. However unlike adults, children continued to look at the competitor even after the target word was uniquely identified and were more likely to incorrectly select this item. Altogether, these results suggest that early lexical processing involves cascading activation but less efficient resolution of competing entries.

“…From infancy to young adulthood, the development of cognitive functioning is reflected in behavior that is less reflexive and stimulus-bound but rather more goal-directed, selforganized, and flexible (Stuss 1992). Various lines of evidence of cognitive development suggest that typical maturation of controlled processing functions occurs in a multistage progression in which different components and kinds of control develop at different rates, beginning in infancy and continuing into adolescence (Welsh et al 1991;Klenberg et al 2001;Becker et al 1987;Levin et al 1991;Luria 1966Luria /1980Passler et al 1985;Welsh and Pennington 1988). …”

Over the last two decades, there have been numerous technical and methodological advances available to clinicians and researchers to better understand attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its etiology. Despite the growing body of literature investigating the disorder's pathophysiology, ADHD remains a complex psychiatric disorder to characterize. This chapter will briefly review the literature on ADHD, with a focus on its history, the current genetic insights, neurophysiologic theories, and the use of neuroimaging to further understand the etiology. We address some of the major concerns that remain unclear about ADHD, including subtype instability, heterogeneity, and the underlying neural correlates that define the disorder. We highlight that the field of ADHD is rapidly evolving; the descriptions provided here will hopefully provide a sturdy foundation for which to build and improve our understanding of the disorder.
