背景：疲劳是小学生和初中生的常见症状，与学习成绩差有关。由于认知功能的年级依赖发展也影响学习成绩，我们试图确定认知功能是否与疲劳的流行有关。方法：对148名4~6年级小学生和152名7~9年级初中生进行问卷调查。参与者完成了一份关于疲劳的问卷(日文版Chalder疲劳量表)和纸笔和计算机化的认知测试，这些测试可以评估运动加工、即时、延迟和工作记忆、选择性、分离和替代注意力、提取所学材料和空间结构的能力。结果：在调整年级和性别的多因素Logistic回归分析中，小学生运动加工迟缓与疲劳发生率呈正相关，初中生工作记忆减退、分离注意加工和交替注意加工与疲劳发生率呈正相关。结论：中小学生认知功能的年级发展影响疲劳的严重程度。(C)2010年日本儿童神经病学学会。爱思唯尔出版，版权所有。
Background: Fatigue is a common complaint among elementary and junior high school students, and is related to poor academic performance. Since grade-dependent development of cognitive functions also influences academic performance, we attempted to determine whether cognitive functions were associated with the prevalence of fatigue. Methods: Participants were 148 elementary school students from 4th- to 6th-grades and 152 junior high school students from 7th- to 9th-grades. Participants completed a questionnaire about fatigue (Japanese version of the Chalder Fatigue Scale) and paper-and-pencil and computerized cognitive tests which could evaluate the abilities of motor processing, immediate, delayed and working memory, selective, divided and alternative attention, retrieve learned material, and spatial construction. Results: We found that in multivariate logistic regression analyses adjusted for grade and gender, slow motor processing was positively correlated with the prevalence of fatigue in the elementary school students and decreases in working memory and divided and alternative attention processing were positively correlated with the prevalence of fatigue in the junior high school students. Conclusion: The grade-dependent development of cognitive function influences the severity of fatigue in elementary and junior high school students. (C) 2010 The Japanese Society of Child Neurology.
