Cover Story: Although school-aged children are capable of using their executive function (EF) skills in increasingly complex situations, they must still learn to do so reflectively and with metacognitive awareness. This experimental study found that younger children (age 7 years) received a larger benefit from instructions to “pause and think" before responding on an EF task than older children (age 9 years), which led to higher task accuracy and better selective withdrawal of incorrect answers. In contrast, articulatory suppression impaired task and metacognitive performance similarly across ages. Finally, children simply asked to metacognitively judge their own responses without any extra instructions exhibited smaller error-related negativity and N2 amplitudes of the event-related potential.
