“…Previous studies have shown that interference is larger among children compared to adults, in different versions of the Stroop and Stroop-like paradigms 11,13,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] . others, in a smaller number, have not observed an age effect on interference measures, in these paradigms 12,22 .…”

-Background: The Stroop paradigm evaluates susceptibility to interference and is sensitive to dysfunction in frontal lobes. Performance in the Stroop changes along the development. Despite its usefulness in research and clinical settings, there are few studies with Brazilian samples. Objective: This study investigates the performance and age effect on Stroop paradigm of Brazilian children. Method: A sample of 119 children, aged from 7 to 10 years, was submitted to the Victoria version of Stroop. Results: The pattern of results observed was similar to that observed in foreign studies with adults and children. Younger children were overall slower than older ones (positive correlation between age and naming time). Also, younger children showed more susceptible to interference than older ones (negative correlation between age and number of errors for the maximal interference condition). Conclusion: There was an age effect explained in terms of developmental changes in information processing velocity and attention selectivity.KeY worDS: attention, cognition, neuropsychology, child. desempenho de 119 crianças brasileiras no paradigma Stroop -Versão Victoriaresumo -Introdução: o paradigma Stroop avalia a susceptibilidade à interferência e é sensível a disfunção nos lobos frontais. o desempenho no Stroop muda durante o desenvolvimento. Apesar de sua utilidade na pesquisa e na clínica, existem poucos estudos brasileiros. Objetivo: Investigar o desempenho e efeito de idade de crianças brasileiras no Stroop. Método: A versão Victoria do Stroop foi aplicada em 119 crianças (7 a 10 anos). Resultados: o padrão de resultados observado é comparável a estudos estrangeiros com adultos e crianças. Crianças mais jovens foram mais lentas do que as mais velhas (correlação positiva entre idade e tempo de nomeação). os mais jovens apresentaram maior susceptibilidade à interferência, comparados aos mais velhos (correlação negativa entre idade e número de erros para a condição de interferência máxima). Conclusão: o efeito de idade foi observado e discutido em termos de mudanças na velocidade de processamento da informação e na seletividade da atenção.

“…That would explain the increase of Stroop interference in the first years after reading acquisition, and the decrease during adolescence. In line with this idea, a number of studies have shown larger Stroop interference for children than for adults (e.g., Carter, Mintun, & Cohen, 1995;Comalli et al, 1962;Guttentag & Haith, 1978;Vurpillot & Ball, 1979), and there are other studies suggesting that children have relatively weaker inhibitory control (Ridderinkhof, Band, & Logan, 1999;Tipper, Bourque, Anderson, & Brehaut, 1989;cf. Bub, Masson, & Lalonde, 2006).…”

“…For this reason, in Experiment 2, we applied the paradigm used in Experiment 1 to children in Grade 4. Due to the weaker inhibitory capacity in this population (e.g., Carter et al, 1995;Comalli et al, 1962;Guttentag & Haith, 1978;Ridderinkhof et al, 1999;Tipper et al, 1989;Vurpillot & Ball, 1979) compared with the adult participants of Experiment 1, we expected the audiovisual epistemic Stroop Note.

Don’t believe everything you hear: Routine validation of audiovisual information in children and adults

Previous research has shown that the validation of incoming information during language comprehension is a fast, efficient, and routine process (epistemic monitoring). Previous research on this topic has focused on epistemic monitoring during reading. The present study extended this research by investigating epistemic monitoring of audiovisual information. In a Stroop-like paradigm, participants (Experiment 1: adults; Experiment 2: 10-year-old children) responded to the probe words correct and false by keypress after the presentation of auditory assertions that could be either true or false with respect to concurrently presented pictures. Results provide evidence for routine validation of audiovisual information. Moreover, the results show a stronger and more stable interference effect for children compared with adults.

“…A task illustrating this use (of strategies which allow attention to become more efficient) used pictures of houses with a number of windows, which could differ on several small details such as curtain style, or inclusion of a flower pot (Vuirpillot, 1968;Vuirpillot & Ball, 1979). The task is to find the match-to-a-sample picture.…”
