Session Type: Paper Symposium
Cognitive control refers to a set of processes allowing for goal-directed behavior and healthy cognitive functioning. Detecting mistakes, processing feedback, and inhibiting responses reflect just a few examples of cognitive control. While it is known that cognitive control develops rapidly throughout childhood to approach adult-like levels in adolescence, characterizing exactly how neural development maps onto changes in cognitive control behavior remains an area of active investigation; here, the use of advanced neuro-analytic approaches could prove particularly informative. At the same time, atypical development of the cognitive control system is known to be a risk factor for a host of psychological disorders. Thus, it is critical to both understand how the cognitive control system develops, and develop targeted interventions optimized for children at risk. In the current symposium, we present a series of four talks that address: the neural basis of cognitive control during childhood and adolescence, investigate development of this system, and explore novel interventions designed to improve cognitive control during this critical window of development. The first two papers in the symposium will be devoted to describing the neural basis of cognitive control during late childhood and adolescence, leveraging recent evidence from advanced analyses involving network-based fMRI (talk 1) and time-frequency EEG (talk 2). The symposium will conclude by describing novel interventions designed to improve cognitive control deficits related to aggression in late childhood and early adolescence (talk 3), as well as more general inhibitory control deficits in children (talk 4).
