Abstract

Executive control (EC) emerges in the first year of life, with the ability to inhibit prepotent responses (inhibitory control [IC]) and to flexibly readapt (cognitive flexibility [CF]) steadily improving. Simultaneously, electrophysiological brain activity undergoes profound reconfiguration, which has been linked to individual variability in EC. However, most studies exploring this relationship have used relative/absolute power and tasks that combine different executive processes. In addition, brain activity conflates aperiodic and oscillatory activity, which hinders the interpretation of the relationship between power and cognition. In the current study, we used the Early Childhood Inhibitory Touchscreen Task (ECITT) to examine the development of EC skills from 9 to 16 months in a longitudinal sample, and related performance of the task to resting-state EEG (rs-EEG) power, separating oscillatory and aperiodic activity. Our results showed improvement in IC but not in CF with age. In addition, alpha and theta oscillatory activity were concurrent (9-mo.) and longitudinal predictors of CF in toddlerhood, whereas the aperiodic exponent of the EEG signal did not contribute to EC. These findings demonstrate the relevance of oscillatory brain activity for cognitive development and provide an early brain marker for the early development of EC.

振荡而非非周期性额叶脑活动预测婴儿期到幼儿期执行控制的发展
执行控制(Executive control, EC)在出生后的第一年开始出现,抑制阳性反应(抑制性控制[IC])和灵活重新适应(认知灵活性[CF])的能力稳步提高。同时,脑电生理活动经历了深刻的重构,这与EC的个体差异有关。然而,大多数探索这种关系的研究都使用了结合不同执行过程的相对/绝对权力和任务。此外,大脑活动将非周期性和振荡性活动混为一谈,这阻碍了对权力和认知之间关系的解释。在本研究中,我们使用幼儿抑制性触屏任务(ECITT)对9 - 16个月大的婴儿进行了纵向抽样研究,并分析了任务表现与静息状态脑电图(rs-EEG)功率的关系,分离了振荡活动和非周期活动。我们的结果显示,随着年龄的增长,IC有所改善,但CF没有改善。此外,α和θ振荡活动是并发(9-mo)和纵向预测幼儿期CF的指标,而脑电图信号的非周期指数对EC没有贡献。这些发现证明了振荡脑活动与认知发展的相关性,并为早衰症的早期发展提供了早期脑标记物。
