工作记忆功能之间关系的前期研究。儿童的学习成绩和行为主要集中在临床人群。本研究以55名6-13岁学童为研究对象，探讨了教师在视听空间工作记忆任务中的表现与教师报告的学业成绩和精神症状之间的关系。工作记忆功能通过视觉和听觉n-back任务测量。在任务期间收集有关错误响应、反应时间以及多个和错过的响应的信息。采用教师报告表对儿童的学业成绩、行为和情绪状况进行评估。结果表明，良好的空间工作记忆表现与学校的学业成绩有关。工作记忆表现低的儿童。尤其是在听觉空间记忆方面，与工作记忆表现良好的孩子相比，在学校有更多的学习和注意力/行为困难。在听觉和视觉任务中，教师报告的注意力/行为问题和视觉任务中教师报告的焦虑/抑郁症状的多重反应和错过的数量增加有关。研究结果表明，工作记忆缺陷可能是一些学习困难和与冲动、注意力不集中和多动症相关的行为问题的基础。另一方面，焦虑/抑郁症状也可能影响工作记忆功能。以及集中注意力的能力。导致在学校的学习成绩较低。(C) 2004爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Previous studies of the relationship among working memory function. academic performance and behavior in children have focused mainly on clinical populations. In the present study, the associations of the performance in audio- and visuospatial working memory tasks to teacher reported academic achievement and psychiatric symptoms were evaluated in a sample of fifty-five 6-13-year-old school children. Working memory function was measured by visual and auditory n-back tasks. Information on Incorrect responses, reaction times, and multiple and missed responses were collected during the tasks. The children's academic performance and behavioral and emotional status were evaluated by the Teacher Report Form. The results showed that good spatial working memory performance was associated with academic success at school. Children with low working memory performance. especially audiospatial memory, were reported to have more academic and attentional/behavioral difficulties at school than children with good working memory performance. An increased number of multiple and missed responses in the auditory and visual tasks was associated with teacher reported attentional/behavioral problems and in visual tasks with teacher reported anxiety/depressive symptoms. The results suggest that working memory deficits may underlie some learning difficulties and behavioral problems related to impulsivity, difficulties in concentration, and hyperactivity. On the other hand, it is possible that anxiety/depressive symptoms affect working memory function. as well as the ability to concentrate. leading to a lower level of academic performance at school.
