执行功能的组成部分在整个青春期继续发展。这些认知成分如何影响复杂的认知功能，需要他们的整合知识有限。本研究探讨了反应计划的发展，一个复杂的认知功能，和选定的认知过程，包括加工速度，反应抑制，和工作记忆的发展的贡献。我们测试了100名8-30岁的健康个体，使用计算机化版本的伦敦塔（TOL）任务和认知眼动测试，包括视觉引导扫视，眼动延迟反应和反扫视任务。处理速度、反应抑制、工作记忆和TOL表现都在青春期表现出成熟。虽然所有的过程都与TOL性能的发展，antisaccade性能表现出最强的关联，表明反应抑制在规划中的重要作用。这些结果表明，在青春期收敛的认知过程的发展，包括反应抑制和工作记忆，支持反应规划，并可能作为一个模型，在其他复杂的问题解决任务的性能发展。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Components of executive function continue to develop through adolescence. There is limited knowledge of how these cognitive components impact complex cognitive function requiring their integration. This study examines the development of response planning, a complex cognitive function, and the contributions of selected cognitive processes, including speed of processing, response inhibition, and working memory to its development. We tested 100 healthy 8-30 year old individuals with a computerized version to the Tower of London (TOL) task and cognitive oculomotor tests including the visually guided saccade, oculomotor delayed response, and antisaccade tasks. Speed of processing, response inhibition, working memory, and TOL performance all demonstrated maturation in adolescence. While all processes were correlated with the development of TOL performance, antisaccade performance showed the strongest association indicating an important role for response inhibition in planning. These results indicate that the development of converging cognitive processes in adolescence, including response inhibition and working memory, support response planning and may serve as a model for the development of performance in other complex problem solving tasks.
