为了研究反映额叶功能的认知和记忆测试中表现的发育变化，研究了52名正常儿童和青少年，其中包括17名7至8岁的儿童，17名9至12岁的儿童，以及18名13至15岁的青少年。测试包括威斯康辛卡片分类测试、加州语言学习测试（儿童版）、单词流畅性测试、动物命名和设计流畅性测试、二十题测试、Go- no - Go测试、伦敦塔测试和延迟交替测试。除了延迟交替，发育变化在所有测试中都得到证实。在威斯康星卡片分类测试和Go- no - Go任务上的假阳性错误上，主要是在7- 8岁和9- 12岁组之间发现的。然而，在加州语言学习测试、20个问题和伦敦塔测试中，13至15岁年龄段的表现进一步得到了证实。主成分分析揭示了一个三因素的解决方案，包括语义关联/概念形成因素、摆脱持久性因素和规划/策略因素。我们的发现鼓励将这些测试应用于患有额叶病变的儿童。
To investigate developmental changes in performance on cognitive and memory tests purported to reflect frontal lobe functioning, 52 normal children and adolescents were studied including 17 children in the 7- to 8-year-old group, 17 children in the 9- to 12-year-old age range, and 18 adolescents who ranged from 13 to 15 years. The tests included the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, California Verbal Learning Test-Children's Version, Word Fluency, Animal Naming and Design Fluency, the Twenty Questions task, the Go-No Go task, the Tower of London, and Delayed Alternation. With the exception of Delayed Alternation, developmental changes were confirmed on all of the tests. Major gains were found primarily between the 7- to 8- and 9- to 12-year-old groups on Wisconsin Card Sorting measures and false-positive errors on the Go-No Go Task. However, further advances in performance in the 13- to 15-year-old age range were confirmed on the California Verbal Learning Test, Twenty Questions, and Tower of London. A principal components analysis revealed a three-factor solution, including a semantic association/concept formation factor, a freedom from perseveration factor, and a planning/strategy factor. Our findings encourage the application of these tests to children with frontal lobe lesions.
