文摘

Task inhibition (N-2 task repetition costs) was measured in children and young adults. Diffusion model and Ex-Gaussian analysis revealed differences between the age groups. In adults, task inhibition was reflected in drift rate and tau parameter. This means that adults show impaired response selection in inhibited tasks. In children, task inhibition was reflected in non-decision time and mu parameter. This suggests that children show longer preparation time for inhibited tasks.
