Abstract
Objective
To explore the characteristics of event-related potential(ERP) in the development of alert attention of children aged 6-11 years old.
Methods
A total of 144 children aged 6-11 years old were enrolled in a continuous performance test (CPT, Go/Nogo stimulus task). The latency and amplitude of frontal region cue/uncue-P3 and CNV were analyzed and compared in all age groups.
Results
(1)Behavioral comparison among different age groups: correct number(35(31, 38), 37(34, 38.25), 37(34.75, 39), 38(35, 39.25), 39(37.25, 40), 39(39, 40)), correct reaction time((566.88±86.63)ms, (530.10±83.40)ms, (509.17±88.99)ms, (488.31±76.23)ms, (463.45±75.78)ms, (417.24±75.78)ms), the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01). (2)Fz lead ERP characteristics: ①Comparison of cue-CNV and uncue-CNV: 6-year-old group((-8.54±4.56)μV vs (-10.13±6.36)μV), 7-year-old group((-9.20±5.34)μV vs (-11.53±4.29)μV), 8-year-old group((-8.37±4.78)μV vs (-11.35±6.38)μV)in amplitude and 9-year-old group((689.25±268.22)ms vs (826.13±174.62)ms)in latency were significantly different(P<0.05). ②Comparison of cue-P3 and uncue-P3: 6-year-old group((4.29±4.11)μV vs (7.45±3.83)μV), 7-year-old group((4.47±4.71)μV vs (5.82±4.40)μV), 8-year-old group((3.76±3.39)μV vs (6.24±4.91)μV), 9-year-old group((4.27±3.57)μV vs (5.93±3.08)μV), 11-year-old group((4.24±4.66)μV vs (6.13±4.42)μV)in amplitude were significantly different(P<0.05). ③Longitudinal comparison among age groups: the latency of cue-CNV in 9-year-old group and 11-year-old group were shorter, and the difference was significant(P<0.05). The amplitudes of cue-CNV and cue-P3 in 10-year-old group were shorter than those in other age groups(P<0.05).
Conclusion
With the increase of age, the reaction time of school-age children shortened and the correct rate improved.The age of 9-10 may be the high-speed period of the development for brain network on vigilant attention and psychological prediction which may be related to the maturation and development of frontal cortex.

"Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science" (CN 37-1468/R, ISSN 1674-6554) is a national academic journal under the supervision of the National Health Commission, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and Jining Medical College. The journal was founded in June 1992 and was formerly known as "Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine" (1992-1993) and "Chinese Behavioral Medical Science" (1994-2008). In 2009, it was renamed "Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science" with the approval of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.
The purpose of "Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science" is to implement the health and health policies of the Party and the State, implement the principle of combining theory with practice and popularization and improvement, and reflect the major progress in the theory and practical application of behavioral medicine and brain science in my country. It publishes academic papers and scientific research results in the field of behavioral medicine and brain science in my country, and has columns such as monographs/reviews, basic research, clinical research, health prevention, methods and techniques, psychological behavior and evaluation, and systematic evaluation.
