“…Thus, it appears that learning a collective body of task knowledge leads to a further shift towards engaging proactive control as well as efficient engagement of cognitive control (e.g., faster response times) in the similar-structured task with different stimuli. Indeed, recent studies showed that prior task experience boosts proactive control engagement in 5-year-olds who begin to engage proactive control (Yanaoka et al, 2022) and in 4-to 6-year-olds (Gonthier & Blaye, 2022). In contrast, Experiment 3 did not observe consistent positive transfer effects in adults across training and test phases (i.e., no significant differences in PBI scores).…”

“…Although greater resources (e.g., increased working memory load) are required to engage proactive control, the shift from youth spontaneously preferencing proactive control rather than relying on reactive control increases throughout childhood. However, once instructed to do so, children as young as preschool age are able to engage in proactive control (Gonthier & Blaye, 2022 ). For instance, anticipating possible interferences in attention from classmates (proactive control) may reduce the frequency of distraction, however reliance on redirection of attention back to a task following distraction (reactive control) is less cognitively demanding.…”

“…Cognitive control gradually evolves from a reactive, cue-dependent and contextually influenced mode, to a more proactive and anticipatory mode which is less dependent on the context ( Braver, 2012 ; Munakata et al, 2012 ; Chevalier et al, 2017 ). Recent research shows that children aged 4–6 cannot yet use proactive control spontaneously ( Gonthier and Blaye, 2022 ). The shift from reactive to proactive control, which is observed around the age of 6, reflects progress in SRL abilities, including goal choice ( Blackwell and Munakata, 2014 ; Zelazo, 2015 ; Gonthier et al, 2019 ).…”
