    "abstract": "The Dimensional Change Card Sort Task (DCCS) is a measure\nof the developmental status of early childhood EF. In this task,\nchildren use verbal rules regarding the features and dimensions\nof objects to sort cards by shape or color. A recent dynamic\nneural field model explains development in the DCCS task\nbased on the strength of associations between labels and visual\nfeatures. In this project, we explored the role of dimensional\nlabel learning (DLL) in the development of flexibility in the\nDCCS task. Three- and 4-year-olds were given DLL tasks\nalong with the DCCS task. We measured hemodynamic\nactivity as children performed these tasks using fNIRS. Results\nshowed that color label production produced activation\nthroughout frontal and left temporal areas. Importantly,\nhemodynamic activation during the DLL tasks predicted\nperformance in the DCCS. These results suggest that the neural\nsystems involved in DLL influences children’s ability to\nflexibly switch between rules.",
