Abstract

This study aimed to clarify the psychometric properties and development of Go/No-Go (GNG) task-related neural activation across critical periods of neurobiological maturation by examining its longitudinal stability, factor structure, developmental change, and associations with a computational index of task-general cognitive control. A longitudinal sample (N=289) of adolescents from the Michigan Longitudinal Study was assessed at four time-points (mean number of timepoints per participant=2.05; standard deviation=0.89) spanning early adolescence (ages 10−13) to young adulthood (22−25). Results suggested that regional neural activations from the “successful inhibition” (SI>GO) and “failed inhibition” (FI>GO; error-monitoring) contrasts are each described well by a single general factor. Neural activity across both contrasts showed developmental increases throughout adolescence that plateau in young adulthood. Neural activity metrics evidenced low temporal stability across this period of marked developmental change, and the SI>GO factor showed no relations with a behavioral index of cognitive control. The FI>GO factor displayed stronger criterion validity in the form of significant, positive associations with behaviorally measured cognitive control. Findings emphasize the utility of well-validated psychometric methods and longitudinal data for clarifying the measurement properties of functional neuroimaging metrics and improving measurement practices in developmental cognitive neuroscience.

厘清 Go/No-Go 任务相关神经激活在青春期和青年期的纵向因子结构、时间稳定性和构建有效性

本研究旨在通过考察Go/No-Go（GNG）任务相关神经激活的纵向稳定性、因子结构、发展变化以及与任务一般认知控制计算指标的关联，阐明GNG任务相关神经激活在神经生物学成熟关键时期的心理计量特性和发展。对密歇根纵向研究（Michigan Longitudinal Study）中的青少年纵向样本（样本数=289）进行了四个时间点的评估（每个参与者的平均时间点数=2.05；标准差=0.89），时间跨度从青春期早期（10-13 岁）到青年期（22-25 岁）。研究结果表明，"成功抑制"（SI>GO）和 "失败抑制"（FI>GO; 错误监测）对比的区域神经激活分别由一个单一的一般因子很好地描述。这两种对比的神经活动在整个青春期都呈现出发展性增长，并在青年期趋于稳定。在这一明显的发展变化时期，神经活动指标显示出较低的时间稳定性，而且SI>GO因子与认知控制的行为指数没有关系。FI>GO因子显示出更强的标准有效性，与行为测量的认知控制有显著的正相关。研究结果表明，经过充分验证的心理测量方法和纵向数据有助于明确功能神经影像指标的测量属性，并改进发育认知神经科学的测量实践。

期刊介绍： The journal publishes theoretical and research papers on cognitive brain development, from infancy through childhood and adolescence and into adulthood. It covers neurocognitive development and neurocognitive processing in both typical and atypical development, including social and affective aspects. Appropriate methodologies for the journal include, but are not limited to, functional neuroimaging (fMRI and MEG), electrophysiology (EEG and ERP), NIRS and transcranial magnetic stimulation, as well as other basic neuroscience approaches using cellular and animal models that directly address cognitive brain development, patient studies, case studies, post-mortem studies and pharmacological studies.
