Mouse-tracking–measuring computer-mouse movements made by participants while they
choose between response options–is an emerging tool that offers an accessible, data-rich …

The continuous tracking of mouse or finger movements has become an increasingly popular
research method for investigating cognitive and motivational processes such as decision …

Inhibitory control is proposed to involve 2 dissociable processes that feature distinct types of
inhibition: a threshold adjustment process involving the global inhibition of motor output and …

The Gratton effect refers to the observation that performance on congruency tasks is often
enhanced when the congruency of the current trial matches that of the previous trial. This …

Reward is deemed a performance reinforcer. The current study investigated how social and
monetary reward anticipation affected cognitive control in 39 children, 40 adolescents, and …

We examined how 5-to 8-year-olds (N= 51; M age= 83 months; 27 female, 24 male; 69%
White, 12% Black/African American, 8% Asian/Asian American, 6% Hispanic, 6% not …

Six‐to 8‐year‐olds, 10‐to 12‐year‐olds, and adults (N= 108) performed the Simon task by
reaching to targets on a digital display. The spatial and temporal characteristics of their …

Executing goal-directed action sequences is fundamental to our behavior. Planning and
controlling these action sequences improves greatly over the preschool years. In this study …

Interference control is central to cognitive control and, more generally, to many aspects of
development. Despite its importance, the understanding of the processes underlying mean …

Recent studies have suggested that dissociable processes featuring distinct types of
inhibition support cognitive control in tasks requiring participants to override a prepotent …
