针对学龄前儿童神经心理学评估的诊断工具的开发明显落后于学龄儿童（DeWolfe，Byrne和Bawden，2000）。对于执行功能（EF）的测量尤其如此。学龄前儿童听觉连续表现测试（ACPT-P; Mahone，Pillion，& Hiemenz，2001）是一种计算机化的，Go-No-go测试，旨在测量学龄前儿童的EF技能。首先，为了确定ACPT-P的表现是否与听力障碍有关，我们比较了轻度听力损失（MHL）儿童与对照儿童在ACPT-P上的表现，以及空间工作记忆（SWM）和运动持久性（MP）的测量。MHL组和对照组在任何这些指标上的表现均无差异。其次，要检查结构效度的ACPT-P，我们比较了40名学龄前儿童与ADHD的40个年龄和性别匹配的控制，使用ACPT-P来衡量反应准备，持续注意力和抑制控制的性能。我们还比较了这些组的SWM和MP的措施。注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）组在ACPT-P（遗漏、平均反应时间、变异性）和MP上的表现明显差于对照组。ACPT-P与MP相关，但与SWM测量无关。无论是ACPT-P和MP措施显示低到中度的相关性与父母的行为评级与多动症。这些研究结果支持使用基于性能的评估执行控制技能的学龄前儿童疑似多动症。在这个年龄组中，ACPT-P可能在评估持续注意力和反应准备方面特别有用，并可能补充行为评定量表。
Development of diagnostic instruments directed toward neuropsychological assessment of preschoolers lags significantly behind those available for school-age children (DeWolfe, Byrne, & Bawden, 2000). This is particularly true for measures of executive function (EF). The Auditory Continuous Performance Test for Preschoolers (ACPT-–P; Mahone, Pillion, & Hiemenz, 2001) is a computerized, Go-No-go test developed to measure selected EF skills in preschoolers. First, to determine whether performance on the ACPT-–P is associated with hearing impairment, we compared performance of children with mild hearing loss (MHL) to controls on the ACPT-–P, and measures of spatial working memory (SWM) and motor persistence (MP). There were no differences between performance of the MHL group and controls on any of these measures. Second, to examine the construct validity of the ACPT-–P, we compared performance of 40 preschoolers with ADHD to 40 age- and sex-matched controls, using the ACPT-–P to measure response preparation, sustained attention, and inhibitory control. We also compared these groups on measures of SWM and MP. The group with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) performed significantly worse than controls on the ACPT-–P (omissions, mean response time, variability) and MP. The ACPT-–P was correlated with the MP, but not with the SWM measure. Both the ACPT-–P and the MP measures showed low to moderate correlations with parent ratings of behavior associated with ADHD. These findings support the use of performance-based assessment of executive control skills in preschoolers suspected of having ADHD. In this age group, the ACPT-–P may be particularly useful in assessing sustained attention and response preparation and may complement behavior rating scales.
