为了与强调早期经验在婴儿大脑发育中的作用的建议保持一致，本研究调查了父母与婴儿互动的质量与随后的儿童执行功能（EF）之间的前瞻性联系，包括工作记忆、冲动控制和定势转换。当孩子 12 至 15 个月大时（N = 80）评估母亲的敏感性、思维能力和自主支持。儿童 EF 在 18 个月和 26 个月时进行评估。研究发现所有三个养育维度都与儿童 EF 相关。自主支持是每个年龄段 EF 的最强预测因素，与一般认知能力和母亲教育无关。这些发现补充了先前关于儿童压力反应系统的结果，表明亲子关系可能在儿童自我调节能力的发展中发挥重要作用。
In keeping with proposals emphasizing the role of early experience in infant brain development, this study investigated the prospective links between quality of parent-infant interactions and subsequent child executive functioning (EF), including working memory, impulse control, and set shifting. Maternal sensitivity, mind-mindedness and autonomy support were assessed when children were 12 to 15 months old (N = 80). Child EF was assessed at 18 and 26 months. All three parenting dimensions were found to relate to child EF. Autonomy support was the strongest predictor of EF at each age, independent of general cognitive ability and maternal education. These findings add to previous results on child stress-response systems in suggesting that parent-child relationships may play an important role in children's developing self-regulatory capacities.
