Early cognitive and language skills are linked to resting frontal gamma power across the first 3 years
Open accessAbstract
High-frequency cortical activity in humans and animals has been linked to a wide variety of higher cognitive processes. This research suggests that specific changes in neuronal synchrony occur during cognitive processing, distinguished by emergence of fast oscillations in the gamma frequency range. To determine whether the development of high-frequency brain oscillations can be related to the development of cognitive abilities, we studied the power spectra of resting EEG in children 16, 24 and 36 months of age. Individual differences in the distribution of frontal gamma power during rest were highly correlated with concurrent language and cognitive skills at all ages. Gamma power was also associated with attention measures; children who were observed as having better inhibitory control and more mature attention shifting abilities had higher gamma power density functions. We included a group of children with a family history of language impairment (FH+) and thus at higher risk for language disorders. FH+ children, as a group, showed consistently lower gamma over frontal regions than the well-matched FH- controls with no such family history (FH-). We suggest that the emergence of high-frequency neural synchrony may be critical for cognitive and linguistic development, and that children at risk for language impairments may lag in this process.

Higher absolute gamma power reflects more efficient neural processing, which can facilitate the emergence of complex cognitive skills.
“Higher absolute gamma power reflects more efficient neural processing, which can facilitate the emergence of complex cognitive skills (Benasich et al. 2008;Zelazo, Müller, and Frye 2003).”
From Early Family Experiences and Neural Activity in Rural Pakistani Children: The Differential Role of Gender (2024) · cites this paper as Benasich et al. 2008
The Discussion reports that higher resting frontal gamma power was associated with cognitive and language skills in children aged 16–36 months, and proposes that high-frequency activity might be necessary for optimal development. The Introduction links gamma activity to neural synchronization, but the paper does not establish that higher absolute gamma power reflects more efficient neural processing or that it facilitates complex skills as a causal finding.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
