Answer to Question 1

Answer: c

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ability to inhibit responses improves fairly quickly over the first five years of life, suggesting that response inhibition is tied to the maturation of the brain. For instance, infants display difficulty with the A-not-B task but show improvement on the task by the end of their first year. The improvement is not likely due to changes in working memory since children often look at the correct response while making a response error. This observation suggests that children may be able to attend to the proper response but cannot inhibit the incorrect response. 3 to 5 year olds show some competency on the go/no go task while 7 to12 year olds show nearly the same pattern of neural activity on the go/no go task as adults.
