客观化
本研究的目的是确定一种特定的干预措施--互动节拍器--对一组注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)儿童运动和认知技能的影响。
方法
这项研究包括56名6岁至12岁的男孩，他们在进入研究之前被诊断为ADHD。参与者被预先测试并随机分配到三个匹配的组中的一个。19名参与者接受了15小时的互动节拍器训练，与没有接受干预的一组和接受选定计算机视频游戏训练的一组进行了比较。
结果
在58个变量中，有53个变量支持互动节拍器治疗，其中53个变量的改善显著。此外，治疗组之间以及治疗前和治疗后的因素在注意力、运动控制、语言处理、阅读和父母报告改善攻击行为方面的表现方面发现了几个显著的差异。
结论
互动节拍器训练似乎促进了患有ADHD的男孩的一些能力，包括注意力、运动控制和选定的学习技能。
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a specific intervention, the Interactive Metronome, on selected aspects of motor and cognitive skills in a group of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
METHOD
The study included 56 boys who were 6years to 12 years of age and diagnosed before they entered the study as having ADHD. The participants were pretested and randomly assigned to one of three matched groups. A group of 19 participants receiving 15 hr of Interactive Metronome training exercises were compared with a group receiving no intervention and a group receiving training on selected computer video games.
RESULTS
A significant pattern of improvement across 53 of 58 variables favoring the Interactive Metronome treatment was found. Additionally, several significant differences were found among the treatment groups and between pretreatment and posttreatment factors on performance in areas of attention, motor control, language processing, reading, and parental reports of improvements in regulation of aggressive behavior.
CONCLUSION
The Interactive Metronome training appears to facilitate a number of capacities, including attention, motor control, and selected academic skills, in boys with ADHD.
