TL;DR: The results lend empirical support for the validity and reliability of this set of facial expressions as determined by accurate identification of expressions and high intra-participant agreement across two testing sessions, respectively.

TL;DR: It is found that the amplitude of the P400 (a face-sensitive ERP component) was only sensitive to the orientation of the mother's face, suggesting that “tuning” of the neural response to faces is realized jointly across multiple dimensions of face appearance.

TL;DR: Examination of one facet of executive functioning - inhibitory control - among children who experienced institutional care and the impact of a foster care intervention within the context of the Bucharest Early Intervention Project highlight perturbations in neural sources of behavioral and attention problems among children experiencing early adversity.

TL;DR: Although overall behavioral accuracy is comparable in groups, the results show that group differences in cognitive function have not been resolved 10 years after iron treatment and long-lasting changes in myelination and energy metabolism may account for these long-term effects on an important aspect of human cognitive development.

TL;DR: The ERP results are consistent with neural activity related to deficits in inhibitory control (N2) and error monitoring (error-related negativity) and questions emerge regarding the similarity of attention regulatory difficulties in PIs to those experienced by non-PI children with ADHD.
