Objective The present study aimed to trace the behavior results and event-related potential (ERP) of conflict monitoring from 7 ~ 12 years old to explore the development features of the conflict monitoring.Methods In six groups of 144 children aged from 7 to 12,behavior and non-target N2 amplitude were analyzed in continuous performance test (CPT) task. Results 1. Behavior results:the reaction time of target stimulus decreased ( ( 533.33 ± 66.65 ) ms, (523.91 ± 92.96 ) ms, (468.37 ± 64. 13 ) ms, ( 46 1.48 ± 98.31 ) ms, (457.57 ±84.05 ) ms, (405.02 ± 67.90) ms) and the hitting number increased ( ( 34.87 ± 4.84 ), ( 37.64 ± 3.54 ), ( 37.95± 2.92 ), (38.67 ± 1.23 ), (39.31 ± 1.08 ), ( 39.45 ± 1.00 ) ) as age increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01 ). 2. ERP: ①The non-target N2 amplitude was significantly higher than the target,and the difference was statistically significant (F= 98.57, P< 0.01 ). ②The amplitude of non-target N2 amplitude decreased with age, and the difference was statistically significant (F= 5.54, P< 0. 01 ). Conclusion The non-target N2 was closely related to the monitoring conflict, and the behavior and ERP results in this study showed the development trend. 8 ~ l0 and 12 years old are the critical development period of information processing speed, attention and conflict monitoring function for children.

Objective To investigate cross-cultural differences in picture recognition memory of medical students. Methods Picture recognition memory were assessed by the classic new-old picture recognition,and behavioral results were recorded during the test. Results For new medical picture recognition, mean accuracy of Chinese medical students( 83.21 ± 8.95 )% was considerably higher than that of Indian medical students( 75.56 ±12.63)% (P<0.05), while for old medical picture recognition, reaction time (RT) of Chinese medical students ( ( 887.57 ± 104.07 ) ms ) was longer than that of Indian medical students ( ( 840.93 ± 1 22.48 ) ms) (P<0.05).Three way ANOVA suggested that cultural background and picture type significantly affected accuracy and RT,learning experience affected RT. In addition to picture type and learning experience, the interaction of each factors is not remarkable. Conclusion Cultural background, professional background and learning experiences have affected recognition memory. Medical students of different cultural background adopted difference strategies in picture recognition memory.

Objective To compare the event-related potential(ERP) difference waveforms between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children and normal children in the conflict task,and to investigate the neural mechanism of conflict monitoring of ADHD. Methods ERPs elicited by performing the spatial SimonStroop task were recorded in 32 children with ADHD and 32 normal children. The differences of ERP and behavior dren with ADHD(0.80±0. 11 ,0.87 ±0.08) were less than normal children (0.88 ±0.07,0.93 ±0. 04)in Sireaction time of ADHD group( (773.03 ±99.34)ms) in the Siin were longer than the control group( (737.21 ±81.40)ms) ,the differences had statistic significance (P<0. 05). 2. ERP results:the amplitude of N2 of the children with ADHD in the four conditions were smaller than the control group, the difference in Siin had statistic sigof prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex of ADHD were weaker than the control group. Conclusions The results suggest that, due to the inadequate allocation of attention resources of the children with ADHD, they have conflict monitoring function defects compare with normal children. The function defects of conflict information processing related brain areas may be the main neural mechanism. The result of the behavior and ERP can become the reference indicator for the early diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.

Objective To investigate pathological mechanism of dysfunction of executive control in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ,using a new resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) index, fractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (fALFF). Methods Thirty children of school age with ADHD and thirty gender, age and education-matched healthy controls were experienced restingstate fMRI scans. fALFF approach was used to analyze blood oxygen level-dependent fMRI(BOLD-fMRI) data in resting state. Results Compared with the normal controls,the ADHD showed decreased fALFF in the bilateral superior frontal gyrus( BA10, t=5. 40,4.11 ,Z =4.81,3.82),bilateral middle frontal gyrus( BA9,BA46, t=5.72,5.37, Z = 5.04,3.08 ), right medial frontal gyrus ( BA 10, t = 5.53, Z = 4.90 ) and left precuneus ( t = 3.81, Z =3.57). And the ADHD showed increased fALFF in the bilateral limbic lobe (BA36, t = 4.37,5.20, Z = 4.02,4.66 ), right brainstem ( t = 4.77, Z = 4.34) and bilateral cerebellum ( t = 4.65,4.83, Z = 4.24,4.38 ). Conclusion The results suggest that lower activition of frontal may be the core deficit of executive control with ADHD in resting state,and high activation in several brain regions may be related to compensatory effect.
