It is well known that lateral areas of the prefrontal cortex (LPFC) play a central role in
working memory (a critical basis of various cognitive functions), but it remains unknown …

The neural underpinnings of working memory are hypothesized to develop incrementally
across preschool and early school age, coinciding with the rapid maturation of executive …

Working memory capacity increases throughout childhood and adolescence, which is
important for the development of a wide range of cognitive abilities, including complex …

This study longitudinally compared activity in the frontal cortex during a spatial working
memory task between 5-year-old and 7-year-old children using near-infrared spectroscopy …

Although brain changes associated with the acquisition of cognitive abilities in early
childhood involve increasing localized specialization, little is known about the brain changes …

The neural processes that underlie the functional emergence of human cognitive functions,
particularly those associated with the prefrontal cortex (PFC), are of growing interest to …

The increase in working memory (WM) capacity is an important part of cognitive
development during childhood and adolescence. Cross-sectional analyses have associated …

The aim of this study was to identify changes in brain activity associated with the increase in
working memory (WM) capacity that occurs during childhood and early adulthood …

The ability to keep information active in working memory is one of the cornerstones of
cognitive development. Prior studies have demonstrated that regions which are important for …

Visual working memory (VWM) is a core cognitive system with a highly limited capacity. The
present study is the first to examine VWM capacity limits in early development using …
