Adolescents tend to segment events more coarsely than adults. This study explores whether adolescents could adjust their segmentation style to resemble that of adults when provided with explicit metacontrol-related instructions. We compared event segmentation in two adolescent groups and one adult group, while simultaneously recording EEG data. One adolescent group was instructed to perform segmentation as finely as possible, whereas the other adolescent group and adults received no specific instructions on segmentation granularity. EEG data were analyzed using multivariate pattern analysis and source reconstruction. The findings revealed that adolescents given fine-grained instructions adjusted their segmentation probability closer to adult levels, although they did not fully match adults in processing multiple simultaneous changes. Neurophysiological results indicated that adolescents with fine-grained instructions exhibited neural decoding performance more similar to adults. Increased activity in the inferior frontal gyrus in these adolescents compared to adults related to this. The results suggest that adolescents with fine-grained instructions demonstrated more persistent cognitive control and enhanced top-down attention than their peers and adults. The study shows that adolescent cognitive processes can be shifted toward adult-like performance through instructions.","PeriodicalId":49083,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":"72 ","pages":"101521"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143076084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Linear mixed models determined if FA changes in these tracts were associated with reading growth.Results: Rates of reading growth were similar in both groups. For the OR, FA change from 6 to 8 years was negatively associated with reading growth in both groups. A similar pattern was observed in the left ILF but not in the SLF or AF.Conclusion: Individual differences in reading development were associated with FA change of the OR and left ILF in FT and PT children.

However, little is known about predictive mechanisms in typical development, and how they co-develop with attention. Here we review experimental support for predictive coding and its links with attention in healthy adults' brains, the first experimental works performed in typically developing children and infants, and theoretical accounts of neurodevelopmental disorders using a predictive coding framework. We propose future directions for predictive coding research in development. Finally, we describe the first predictive coding experiments in neonates and provide research perspectives for using this framework in searching for early markers of atypical neurodevelopment.","PeriodicalId":49083,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":"72 ","pages":"101519"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143048395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, interpreting individual differences in these mechanisms, such as developmental differences, is less straightforward. We illustrate this challenge through studies that examine individual differences in reinforcement learning. In these studies, a computational model generates an individual-specific prediction error regressor to model activity in a brain region of interest. Individual differences in the resulting regression weight are typically interpreted as individual differences in neural coding. We first demonstrate that the absence of individual differences in neural coding is not problematic, as such differences are already captured in the individual specific regressor. We then review that the presence of individual differences is typically interpreted as individual differences in the use of brain resources. However, through simulations, we illustrate that these differences could also stem from other factors such as the standardization of the prediction error, individual differences in brain networks outside the region of interest, individual differences in the duration of the prediction error response, individual differences in outcome valuation, and in overlooked individual differences in computational model parameters or the type of computational model. To clarify these interpretations, we provide several recommendations. In this manner we aim to advance the understanding and interpretation of individual differences in computational neuroscience.","PeriodicalId":49083,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":"72 ","pages":"101512"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143042998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Critically, variance in reading skills in youth living in higher socioeconomic status (SES) contexts largely derives from genetic factors, whereas environmental factors explain more of the variance in reading skills among youth living in lower SES contexts. Although reading research has focused closely on the psychosocial environment, little focus has been paid to the effects of the chemical environment. In this study, we measured prenatal exposure to a common air pollutant, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), via the presence (versus absence) of PAH-DNA adducts in maternal blood during the third trimester of pregnancy. We examined the impact of prenatal PAH exposure on adolescent hippocampal subfield volume and on word reading in a sample of youth followed prospectively since birth (N = 165). Compared to those without prenatal exposure, those with detectable PAH-DNA adducts (N = 63) exhibited significantly smaller hippocampal volumes (CA2/3 subfield, t = -2.413, p < .05), which was associated with worse pseudoword reading (t = 2.346, p < .05). Exploratory mediation analyses showed a significant effect of PAH on pseudoword reading through CA2/3 vol (p = .028), suggesting that prenatal PAH exposure affects hippocampal volume with downstream effects on reading ability.","PeriodicalId":49083,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":"72 ","pages":"101508"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143014668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prevalence rates of MD and RD are estimated at 5-10 % of school-age children, and their comorbidity (MDRD) is highly prevalent, with around 40 % of children with MD also experiencing RD. Despite this high comorbidity rate, research on MDRD has received less attention compared to isolated conditions, leaving its neurocognitive mechanisms unclear. In this study, we review behavioral, neuroimaging, and genetic MDRD research and discuss how they support current MDRD models, including the: (1) additive model, which proposes that MDRD results from the addition of neurocognitive deficits unique to MD or RD, (2) domain-general deficits model, which proposes that MDRD stems from executive function deficits, and (3) increased risk model, which proposes that MDRD emerges from phonological deficits characteristic of RD. Further, we recommend updating models of MDRD by integrating the multiple deficit and dimensional models to build a unified framework for research and diagnosis that considers multiple dimensions of mathematics, reading, and domain-general skills. This unified framework highlights the importance of a holistic, functional diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":49083,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":"72 ","pages":"101510"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143014655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated how this affected neural representations of face processing: speed of face processing; face categorization (differentiating faces from houses); and emotional face processing (differentiating happy, fearful, and neutral expressions), in infants (five or ten months old) and children (three years old). We compared participants tested before (total N = 462) versus during (total N = 473) the pandemic-related policies, and used electroencephalography to record brain activity. Event Related Potentials showed faster face processing in three-year-olds but not in infants during the policies. However, there were no meaningful differences between the two Covid-groups regarding face categorization, indicating that this fundamental process is resilient despite the reduced variety of input. In contrast, the processing of facial emotions was affected: across ages, while pre-pandemic children showed differential activity, during-pandemic children did not neurocognitively differentiate between happy and fearful expressions. This effect was primarily attributed to a reduced amplitude in response to happy faces. Given that these findings were present only in the later neural components (P400 and Nc), this suggests that post-pandemic children have a reduced familiarity or attention towards happy facial expressions.","PeriodicalId":49083,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":"72 ","pages":"101506"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143014670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Past research has focused on how the infant face-sensitive ERP components (N290, P400, Nc) reflect different aspects of face processing, however there is still a lack of understanding of how these components reflect face familiarity and how they change over time. Further, there are only a few studies on whether these neural responses correlate with other aspects of development, such as infant temperament. In this longitudinal study (N∼60), we recorded infant visual ERPs in response to mother and stranger face stimuli at 4, 6 and 9 months of age. Our results showed that, compared to a stranger face, the mother face evoked a larger N290 at 4 months and a larger P400 at 6 months. At 9 months, no difference was found between mother and stranger faces. However, at 9 months we found that the P400 and Nc amplitudes evoked by the mother face were associated with infant falling reactivity. We conclude that the neural responses associated with the processing of faces, and specifically the face of the mother, are related to the development of infant individual characteristics.","PeriodicalId":49083,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":"71 ","pages":"101502"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11780142/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142957533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
