自我暗示，如人称代词，被认为会引起加工偏差，如工作记忆中的注意力捕获和优先级。这可能会影响具有高注意力负荷的任务的表现，如数学问题解决。在这里，我们比较了孩子们解决数字问题的速度和准确性，这些问题包括自我提示“你”或不同的字符名称。首先，我们对N = 52名7至11岁的儿童进行了自我参照操作，测试了他们在加法和减法问题上的表现，这些问题要么有一个单一的参照物（“你”/“山姆”），要么有一个以上的参照物。我们考虑了代词的操作和定位，并测量了注意力和工作记忆任务的表现。我们发现，对于包含“you”的问题，无论包含多少个字符，都具有强大的准确性优势。自我代词问题的准确性优势在统计上与注意力或工作记忆的个体差异无关。在我们的主要研究中（9至11岁，N = 144），我们通过创建一致和不一致的措辞加法和减法问题来操纵问题难度。我们发现，包含“你”的问题的速度和准确性明显更高。然而，这种效应因任务难度而异，自我代词效应在最困难的措辞不一致的减法问题中最强。自我代词问题的优势与工作记忆的个体差异无关。这些研究结果表明，自我线索，如代词“你”可以有效地应用于数字处理任务，效果可能是由于自我线索的影响，注意。
Self-cues such as personal pronouns are known to elicit processing biases, such as attention capture and prioritisation in working memory. This may impact the performance of tasks that have a high attentional load like mathematical problem-solving. Here, we compared the speed and accuracy with which children solved numerical problems that included either the self-cue “you,” or a different character name. First, we piloted a self-referencing manipulation with N = 52, 7 to 11 year-olds, testing performance on addition and subtraction problems that had either a single referent (“You”/“Sam”) or more than one referent. We took into account operation and positioning of the pronoun and also measured performance on attention and working memory tasks. We found a robust accuracy advantage for problems that included “you,” regardless of how many characters were included. The accuracy advantage for problems with a self-pronoun was not statistically associated with individual differences in attention or working memory. In our main study (9 to 11 year-olds, N = 144), we manipulated problem difficulty by creating consistently and inconsistently worded addition and subtraction problems. We found significantly higher speed and accuracy for problems that included “you.” However, this effect varied by task difficulty, with the self-pronoun effect being strongest in the most difficult inconsistently worded, subtraction problems. The advantage of problems with a self-pronoun was not associated with individual differences in working memory. These findings suggest that self-cues like the pronoun “you” can be usefully applied in numerical processing tasks, an effect that may be attributable to the effects of self-cues on attention.
