Diversity and Representation in Developmental EEG: Participant Recruitment and Reporting

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the main neuroscientific measures used with infants and children to identify potential biomarkers cognitive social developmental processes. Given implications EEG research within policy, clinical, educational domains, it important ensure that reported results are generalizable reproducible. In this review, provide an initial assessment previous current practices regarding participant recruitment demographic reporting, we carried out a systematic review six journals publishing most pediatric studies between 2011-2023. We identified 700 articles reporting on (N > 80,000). find did not complete basic information (e.g., race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geographical location). This trend persisted across years publication, suggesting continued underreporting. However, demographics differed journals, solutions for improving practices. Our also indicated samples consisted mostly White participants (78%) from North America Western Europe (85%). Moreover, median total sample size was 51 participants. discussion emphasizes need larger, more diverse greater transparency in studies, while providing recommendations address barriers representation.

Metacognitive Prompts Influence 7- to 9-Year-Olds’ Executive Function at the Levels of Task Performance and Neural Processing

To elucidate the role of metacognitive reflection in development children’s executive function (EF) skills, current study examined relations among implicit and explicit forms metacognition 7- to 9-year-olds during performance based on Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS), while experimentally manipulating propensity reflect task. Results showed that instructions led improved task accuracy better control, but only younger children, likely because older children were already engaging reflection. Individual differences trait mindfulness related a similarly reflective mode responding, characterized by control. In contrast, articulatory suppression impaired monitoring. Additionally, simply asking make judgments without extra decreased amplitude event-related potential (ERP) indices error detection (the error-related negativity; ERN) conflict N2). Finally, individual anxiety larger Pe amplitudes. Taken together, findings reinforce theoretical frameworks integrating EF highlight shared influence across multiple levels analysis.
