AbstractCorrelation and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of behavioral measures from two experimental tasks (Delayed Match-to-Sample and Oddball), and standard scores from a neuropsychological test battery (Working Memory Test Battery for Children) was performed on data from participants between 6–18 years old. The correlation analysis (p < .05) results showed a common maturational trend in working memory performance between these two types of tasks. Applying PCA (Eigenvalues > 1), the scores of the first extracted component were significantly correlated (p < .05) to most behavioral measures, suggesting some commonalities of the processes of age-related changes in the measured variables. The results suggest that this first component would be related to age but also to individual differences during the cognitive maturation process across childhood and adolescence stages. The fourth component would represent the speed-accuracy trade-off phenomenon as it presents loading components with different signs for reaction times and errors.

Purpose: Peak amplitude and latency in the pattern reversal visual evoked potential (prVEP) vary with maturation. We considered that principal component analysis (PCA) may be used to describe age-related variation over the entire prVEP time course and provide a means of modeling and removing variation due to developmental age. Methods: prVEP was recorded from 155 healthy subjects ages 11-19 years during two sessions (spaced 0.7 to 17 months apart). We created a model of the prVEP by identifying principal components (PCs) that explained >95% of the variance in a training dataset of 40 subjects. We examined the ability of the PCs to explain variance in an age- and sex-matched test subject group (n=40) and calculated the intra-subject reliability of the PC coefficients between the two sessions. We then explored the effect of subject age and sex upon the PC coefficients. Results: Seven PCs accounted for 96.0% of the variability. The model was generalizable (training vs. test coefficient distributions p>0.36 for all PCs) with good within-subject reliability (R>0.7 for all PCs). The PCA model did not show a significant difference between males and females (F(7,147)=1.69, p=0.12), but showed a significant effect of subject age (F(7,147)=4.37, p=0.0002). Conclusions: PCA is a generalizable, reliable, and unbiased method of analyzing prVEP that can quantify and remove developmental variability present in the global temporal VEP signal. Translational relevance: We describe a novel application of PCA to characterize developmental changes of prVEP in youth that can be used to compare healthy and pathologic pediatric cohorts.
