Highlights • We examined efficiency of and adaptiveness in proactive control use as a function of contextual cue reliability in 6- and 9-year-olds and adults.• All age groups showed greater behavioural, ERP and pupil dilation markers of proactive task selection when cues were reliable.• Early developing use of contextual cue reliability ensures some degree of adaptiveness in proactive control engagement from 6 years onwards.• Only adults additionally engaged in motor preparation with reliable precues, suggesting refinement in proactive control efficiency with age.
