对249名儿童(47%为女性，4.96岁至7.27岁)进行了计算机测试，以评估任务绩效的发展特征和社会人口学相关性。年龄较大的儿童和社会地位较高的儿童在总体反应的准确性和速度方面表现出更高的熟练程度。男孩和社会地位较高的儿童对警示提示的反应能力更强。年龄较大的儿童对定向线索的反应能力更强。年龄较大的儿童、社会地位较高的儿童、非裔美国人和西班牙裔儿童更好地抵制了相互竞争的要求的干扰。研究结果是在与注意力和执行功能相关的发展和社会人口因素的背景下讨论的。
A computerized test of preparedness for effortful processing (alerting attention), response to orienting cues (orienting attention), and response to the interference of competing demands (executive attention) was administered to a diverse sample of 249 children (47% female, 4.96 to 7.27 years) to assess developmental properties and sociodemographic correlates of task performance. Older children and socially advantaged children demonstrated greater proficiency in overall accuracy and speed of responding. Boys and socially advantaged children improved more in response to alerting cues. Older children improved more in response to orienting cues. Older children, socially advantaged children, African American, and Hispanic children resisted the interference of competing demands better. Findings are discussed in the context of developmental and sociodemographic factors relevant to attention and executive functions.
