Memory development and event-related brain potentials in children
2000, Biological PsychologyCitation Excerpt :As can clearly be seen, for all the groups, old pictures elicited greater positive amplitudes than new pictures, spanning an interval from about 300 to 700 ms. As described earlier, performance on the recognition tasks showed improvement with age, but no difference in the magnitude of the ERP old/new effect was found among the four age groups. These data, then, suggest that the efficiency of encoding and retrieval processes improves with age (Ceci and Howe, 1978; Emmerich and Ackerman, 1978; Ackerman, 1987), but that the brain mechanisms themselves are similar in adults and children. The ERP studies reviewed so far reported data based on ERP recordings from a relatively small number of electrode sites5.
