Abstract

There are few studies on the development of oculomotor functions during childhood. B. Fischer, M. Biscaldi, and S. Gezeck (1997) reported improvement of antisaccade task performance between ages 6 and 16 years. The present study is a replication and extension of those results. In three age groups (6–7, 10–11, 18–26 years), saccades during pro‐ and antisaccade tasks with 200‐ms gap and overlap and during a fixation task were measured. Adults exhibited faster saccades and less prosaccades during the antisaccade tasks than 10–11‐year‐old children; these two groups had faster saccades during all tasks and less prosaccades during the anti‐ and the fixation task than 6–7‐year‐old subjects. Both children groups made more express saccades than adults. Results suggest different degrees of age‐related improvement for different saccadic parameters, the effects being greatest for prosaccade inhibition during the antisaccade task and in line with the assumed protracted development of prefrontal functions.

  • The anterior insular cortex has been shown to act in cooperation with reward-processing areas including anterior cingulate cortex, striatum, and thalamus, and its involvement with these regions appears dependent on age.

    “Specifically, the AIC has been shown to act in cooperation with several reward-processing areas (ACC, striatum and thalamus [27, 67–69]) and, importantly, its involvement with these regions appears to be dependent on age [69].”

  • Task-dependent connectivity findings point to developmental changes in the relationship between anterior insular cortex and striatum, but suggest this connection may have reached maturity by midadolescence adequate to support adult-like functions.

    “Task-dependent connectivity findings also point to developmental changes in the relationship between the AIC and the striatum, but suggest that this connection may have reached a state of maturity by midadolescence that is adequate to support adult-like functions [27, 67].”

    From The role of the anterior insula in adolescent decision making (2014) · cites this paper as [67]

  • Even if connectivity between anterior insular cortex and striatum reaches an adult-like state by adolescence, reward opportunities may still evoke stronger recruitment of both regions during adolescence.

    “These two studies, which both show age-dependent differences in AIC (and striatal) activation during reward processing, illustrate that even if connectivity between the AIC and the striatum reaches an adult-like state by adolescence [27, 67], reward opportunities may still evoke stronger recruitment of both regions during adolescence.”

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.
