Resumen:

The developmental characteristics of semantic category generation were studied in a sample of 200 neurologically intact subjects from 6 to 30 years old. Results indicate that diverse brain areas support different the category criteria used: subjects in the 6-8 age range used a concrete criteria (posterior brain areas), in the 9-11 age range a functional criteria is dominant (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex), while abstract criteria becomes dominant in the 12-14 age-range (anterior prefrontal cortex) and continuous to develop in the 16 to 30 age range. It is proposed that different prefrontal areas participate during development, shaping cognitive approach to categorisation during childhood and adolescence. © 2009 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
