Prefrontal Function Engaging in External-Focused Attention in 5- to 6-Month-Old Infants: A Suggestion for Default Mode Network
Published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
Summary
This study examined prefrontal function during external-focused attention in 5- to 6-month-old infants. The study used neurophysiological measurement to investigate attention-related prefrontal activity and considered its relation to the default mode network.
The study contributes to the Measuring line by using physiological measures to describe early developmental patterns of attention. It also connects developmental neuroscience with observation of infant responses under experimentally arranged attention conditions.
Research line
- Measuring: physiological measurement of attention-related activity
- Neurodevelopment: prefrontal function in early infancy
- Attention: external-focused attention and infant response patterns
