The goal of this proposal is to characterize the cross-sectional changes in executive attention (EA) throughout childhood, preadolescence and young adulthood by using the Fruits Task (where cognitive load levels are manipulated to probe EA functions), with an understanding of the neural dynamics and mechanisms underlying the development of EA.
