虚构的故事可以影响儿童行为和认知的许多方面，但关于它们如何帮助或阻碍儿童的执行功能技能，我们知之甚少。目前的研究调查了故事内容（幻想或现实）和参与故事的模式（假装或非假装控制）对儿童抑制控制的作用，抑制控制是早期执行功能的重要组成部分。60名3岁的孩子被随机分配听一个幻想或现实的故事，并被鼓励参与与故事相关的假装或不假装的活动。然后他们完成了“少即是多”的抑制控制测试。故事内容对儿童抑制控制无影响；孩子们在听了奇幻故事和现实故事后表现同样出色。然而，参与与故事相关的假装游戏的孩子比那些参与非假装活动的孩子表现出更大的抑制控制。我们发现故事内容和游戏粘性类型之间没有交互作用。这些结果控制了基线抑制控制，接受性词汇，年龄，性别，情感和倾向于假装。因此，与故事互动的游戏模式在促进儿童抑制控制技能方面比故事的现实程度更重要。
Fictional stories can affect many aspects of children’s behavior and cognition, yet little is known about how they might help or hinder children’s executive function skills. The current study investigated the role of story content (fantasy or reality) and mode of engagement with the story (pretense or a non-pretense control) on children’s inhibitory control, an important component of early executive function. Sixty 3-year-olds were randomly assigned to hear a fantastical or realistic story and were either encouraged to engage in pretense or a non-pretense activity related to the story. They then completed Less is More, a test of inhibitory control. Story content had no impact on children’s inhibitory control; children performed equally well after hearing a fantastical or realistic story. However, children who engaged in story-related pretend play showed greater inhibitory control than those who engaged in a non-pretense activity. We found no interaction between story content and play engagement type. These results held controlling for baseline inhibitory control, receptive vocabulary, age, gender, affect, and propensity toward pretense. Therefore, mode of play engagement with a story was more important in promoting children’s inhibitory control skills than the degree of realism in the story.
