| Résumé : | Human social and executive functions are complex and known to follow a prolonged developmental course from childhood through to early adulthood. These processes rely on the integrity and maturity of distributed neural regions, which also show protracted maturation. MEG is the ideal modality to determine the development of these intricate and multifaceted cognitive abilities; its exquisite temporal and spatial resolution allows investigators to track the agerelated changes in both neural timing and location. The challenge for MEG has been twofold: to develop appropriate tasks to capture the neurodevelopmental trajectory of these functions and to develop appropriate analysis strategies that can capture the subtle, often rapid, cognitive processes, involving frontal lobe activity. In this chapter, we review MEG research on executive, social, and cognitive functions in typically developing children and clinical groups. The studies include the examination of working memory, mental flexibility, facial emotional processing and inhibition, and theory of mind. We end with a discussion on the challenges of testing young children in the MEG environment and the development of age-appropriate technologies and paradigms. |
