认知控制是指对心理活动的调节，以支持不同领域的灵活认知。 Cragg and Nation（2010）提出，儿童认知控制的发展与语言能力，尤其是内在语言的发展相似。我们建议孩子们晚期的认知控制发展也反映了他们修改对句子含义的误解的有限能力。此外，我们认为，对于某些任务，自下而上（数据驱动）和自上而下（基于规则）的思维之间的权衡实际上可能会使儿童和成人的表现受益。具体而言，我们建议缺乏认知控制可能会促进认知发展的重要方面，例如语言获取和创造力。
Cognitive control refers to the regulation of mental activity to support flexible cognition across different domains. Cragg and Nation (2010) propose that the development of cognitive control in children parallels the development of language abilities, particularly inner speech. We suggest that children's late development of cognitive control also mirrors their limited ability to revise misinterpretations of sentence meaning. Moreover, we argue that for certain tasks, a tradeoff between bottom-up (data-driven) and top-down (rule-based) thinking may actually benefit performance in both children and adults. Specifically, we propose that a lack of cognitive control may promote important aspects of cognitive development, like language acquisition and creativity.
