In this prospective longitudinal study, the authors examine the neurophysiological correlates of response inhibition deficits associated with exposures to lead and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in a sample of school-age Inuit children from Nunavik. Findings suggest that exposure to lead during childhood may result in increased impulsivity, while postnatal exposure to PCBs may affect the ability of children to adequately adapt to the changing demands of the environment, resulting in reduced task efficiency.
