Speeding-up while growing-up: Synchronous functional development of motor and non-motor processes across childhood and adolescence.

Describing the maturation of information processing in children is fundamental for developmental science. Although non-linear changes in reaction times have been well-documented, direct measurement of the development of the different processing components is lacking. In this study, electromyography...

Although non-linear changes in reaction times have been well-documented, direct measurement of the development of the different processing components is lacking.
