两项研究探讨了表征能力和注意力控制对解决基于两种类型的物体(真实的和表征的)的外观现实任务的作用。在研究1中,67名学龄前儿童(3岁,4岁和5岁)解决了外观现实问题和执行处理任务。客体类型(真实的与表象的)与问题类型(表象与现实的)对问题难度的影响存在交互作用。此外,表征能力预测性能的外观问题和抑制控制预测性能的现实问题。在研究2中,95名儿童(4岁和5岁)谁是单语或双语解决类似的问题。在外表问题上,两组人表现相当,但在现实问题上,双语者表现更好(一旦语言能力得到控制)。这种差异归因于双语能力带来的高级抑制控制。
Two studies addressed the role of representation ability and control of attention on solutions to an appearance reality task based on two types of objects, real and representational. In Study 1, 67 preschool children (3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds) solved appearance-reality problems and executive processing tasks. There was an interaction between object type (real vs. representational) and question type (appearance vs. reality) on problem difficulty. In addition, representational ability predicted performance on appearance questions and inhibitory control predicted performance on reality questions. In Study 2, 95 children (4- and 5-year-olds) who were monolingual or bilingual solved similar problems. On appearance questions, groups performed equivalently but on reality questions, bilinguals performed better (once language proficiency had been controlled). The difference is attributed to the advanced inhibitory control that comes with bilingualism.
