“…The topography of this component (Figure 2) was similar to those observed in adults (Bailey et al, 2010; West et al, 2012). The LFN was analyzed in three steps: (1) a spatial principal component analysis (PCA) identified the peak electrodes contributing to the LFN; (2) peak amplitudes and latencies were extracted by averaging across these electrodes; and (3) ANOVAs examined the effect of response type on peak amplitude and latency.…”

“…The ERP data were dominated by a LFN that was most pronounced between 350–650 ms after stimulus onset. A similar LFN component was found in adults who showed greater amplitudes on trials with greater inhibition demands (Bailey et al, 2010; West et al, 2012; Luu et al, 2007, 2009). In adults, the LFN seems to be generated by the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, a region critical to response inhibition (e.g., Aron & Poldrack, 2006).…”

“…ERPs are recorded at the scalp via electroencephalography and are time-locked to specific stimuli of interest. Response inhibition is related to multiple ERPs, including the N2 (a frontal negative deflection typically observed at midline electrodes), P3 (a later-occurring frontal-central positive peak; e.g., Bruin et al, 2001; Smith, Johnstone, & Barry, 2007; Kropotov, Ponomarev, Hollup, & Mueller, 2011), and the lateral frontal negativity (LFN; a left-lateralized negative slow-wave and a possible marker of goal updating in adults; Bailey, West, & Anderson, 2010; Luu, Shane, Pratt, & Tucker, 2009; Luu, Tucker, & Stripling, 2007; West, Bailey, Tiernan, Boonsuk, & Gilbert, 2012). …”

Event-related potentials were recorded while five-year-old children completed a Go/No-Go task that distinguished between partial inhibition (i.e., response is initiated but cancelled before completion) and successful inhibition (i.e., response is inhibited before it is initiated). Partial inhibition trials were characterized by faster response initiation and later latency of the lateral frontal negativity (LFN) than successful Go and successful inhibition trials. The speed of response initiation was influenced by the response speed on previous trials and influenced the response speed on subsequent trials. Response initiation and action decision dynamically influenced each other, and their temporal interplay determined response inhibition success.

“…The FSW differentiates correct responses from errors (West & Travers, 2008) and is larger on incongruent than congruent Stroop trials (Bailey, West, & Anderson, 2010;West & Alain, 1999, 2000West, Bailey, Tiernan, Boonsuk, & Gilbert, 2012). The FSW is thought to reflect activity in the lateral prefrontal cortex related to implementation of or adjustments in control .…”

Numerous externalizing behaviors, from aggression to risk-taking to drug abuse, stem from impaired cognitive control, including that brought about by the acute effects of alcohol. Although research generally indicates that alcohol impairs cognitive abilities, a close examination of the literature suggests that alcohol's effects are quite variable and likely depend on a number of contextual factors. The purpose of the current study was to characterize the effects of alcohol on cognitive control in terms of neural and behavioral responses to successful and unsuccessful control attempts. Participants were randomly assigned to consume an alcohol (0.80 g/kg ETOH), placebo, or non-alcoholic control beverage prior to completing a cognitive control (flanker) task while event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded. Alcohol reduced the amplitude of the error-related negativity (ERN) on error trials and increased the post-error compatibility effect in response time. Of particular interest, neural indices of conflict monitoring (N2) and performance adjustment (frontal slow wave) were attenuated by alcohol, but only on trials following errors. These functions had recovered, however, by two trials after an error. These findings suggest that alcohol's effects on cognitive control are best characterized as impaired (or delayed) recovery following control failures. Implications of these findings for understanding alcohol's effects on behavioral under-control are discussed. Keywords alcohol; cognitive control; ERPs; post-error adjustment; externalizing Alcohol is commonly understood to impair cognitive functioning (see Curtin & Lang, 2007;Giancola, 2000;Sayette, 1999), which has been posited as a major source of the drug's deleterious effects on externalizing behaviors, including increased aggression (Giancola, 2004;Giancola, Josephs, De Wall, & Gunn, 2009;Godlaski & Giancola, 2009), greater risktaking (Cherpitel, 2006;Fromme, Katz, & D'Amico, 1997;George, Rogers, & Duka, 2005), and engagement in injurious behaviors (MacDonald, Zanna, & Fong, 1996, 1995. Despite this theory and research, a close examination of the literature indicates that alcohol's effects on cognition are not uniform. In particular, whereas cognitive processes believed to unfold in a relatively obligatory or automatic fashion seem largely immune to alcohol's effects (see Bartholow, Dickter, & Sestir, 2006;Fillmore, Vogel-Sprott, & Gavrilescu, 1999;Grattan & Vogel-Sprott, 2001), alcohol seems to especially impair cognitive control (e.g., Bartholow et al., 2006;Casbon, Curtin, Lang, & Patrick, 2003;Curtin & Fairchild, 2003;Fillmore et al., 1999;Pihl, Paylan, Gentes-Hawn, & Hoaken, 2003), a set of higher-order processes important for pursuing goal-directed action (Alexander & Brown, 2010;Carter & van Veen, 2007;Miller & Cohen, 2001).

“…Response planning is a critical feature of proactive control (Andrews-Hanna et al, 2011; Killikelly & Szűcs, 2013; West, Bailey, Tiernan, Boonsuk, & Gilbert, 2012). Its contribution to working memory can be measured through recall item duration, that is, the time that elapses between the recall of two successive items.…”

The present study addressed whether developmental improvement in working memory span task performance relies upon a growing ability to proactively plan response sequences during childhood. 213 children completed a working memory span task in which they used a touchscreen to reproduce orally presented sequences of animal names. Children were assessed longitudinally at seven time points between 3 and 10 years of age, and 21 young adults completed the same task. Proactive response sequence planning was assessed by comparing recall durations for the first item (preparatory interval) and subsequent items. At preschool age, the preparatory interval was generally shorter than subsequent item recall durations, whereas it was systematically longer during elementary school and in adults. Although children mostly approached the task reactively at preschool, they proactively planned response sequences with increasing efficiency from age 7 on, like adults. These findings clarify the nature of the changes in executive control that support working memory performance with age.
