Abstract
Drift-diffusion modeling estimated cognitive control processes in relation to externalizing behaviors in a large sample of youth across three timepoints. Using cross-lagged panel modeling, results revealed that attention problems and aggressive behaviors predicted subsequent declines in information processing efficiency, with shared and distinct developmental pathways for boys and girls.
