The developmental period from infancy to early childhood is one of substantial change - in advancements cognitive skills, such as executive functions, but also the maturation prefrontal and parietal cortices that parallel advances. current study aims investigate emergence development inhibitory control, a core function, childhood. We collected longitudinal functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) data same sample participants at 10-months, 16-months, 3½ years age whilst they completed Early Childhood Inhibitory Touchscreen Task. In our previous publications, we reported 10-month-old infants recruited right lateralised regions cortex when inhibition was required. Despite no response performance, 16-month-olds broader bilateral cortex. Results found 3½-year-olds activated inferior frontal gyrus Response performance significantly improved by childhood, yet there commonality brain 16-months years. This could suggest these are fundamental neural indices even toddlerhood.
