Greater aerobic fitness is associated with more efficient inhibition of task-irrelevant information in preadolescent children.

摘要: A growing number of neuroelectric studies using event-related brain potentials have demonstrated that greater aerobic fitness is associated with superior cognitive functioning across the lifespan. However, empirical data regarding association between and attentional orienting scarce, no evidence in children, findings are inconclusive. We designed present study to examine relationship involuntary orientation task-irrelevant information preadolescent children. Lower-fit higher-fit children performed a visual oddball task which irregular (i.e., rule-violating) stimuli appeared as dimension, while measures performance P3a component elicited by were assessed. Analyses revealed exhibited lower miss rates smaller amplitude relative lower-fit These suggest childhood more efficient inhibition information.
