One of the most salient ways in which our behavior changes during childhood and
adolescence is that we get better at working towards long-term goals, ignoring irrelevant …

Cognitive control, the ability to voluntarily guide our behavior, continues to improve
throughout adolescence. Below we review the literature on age-related changes in brain …

Changes in many domains of cognition occur with development. In this paper, we discuss
neuroimaging approaches to understanding these changes at a neural level. We highlight …

The dramatic changes in cognitive ability observed throughout childhood mirror comparably
significant changes in the developing brain. Studies of animals provide important data on …

Higher cognitive inhibitory and attention functions have been shown to develop throughout
adolescence, presumably concurrent with anatomical brain maturational changes. The …

Cognitive control, which allows us to guide behavior in a planned and voluntary fashion,
continues to improve through adolescence in parallel with refinements in brain processes …

Recent imaging studies have suggested that developmental changes may parallel aspects
of adult learning in cortical activation becoming less diffuse and more focal over time …

Despite theoretical models suggesting developmental changes in neural substrates of
cognitive control in adolescence, empirical research has rarely examined intraindividual …

Functional brain imaging brings many new offerings to the table of cognitive neuroscience,
particularly offerings that help refine our understanding of the dynamic and adaptive …

The developmental cognitive neuroscience literature has grown exponentially over the last
decade. This paper reviews the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) literature on …
