注意力控制（AC）被认为在儿童抑制控制（IC）的发展中发挥着重要作用，但关于这种关联的纵向研究很少。本研究采用前瞻性亲子收养设计（N = 361 名儿童）来检验 27 个月大时母亲的温暖是否会调节婴儿期 AC 与儿童期 IC 之间的联系。 Tobit 回归分析表明，在控制了亲生父母 IC、产前风险、婴儿对限制的痛苦、儿童性别和收养的开放性的情况下，9 个月时婴儿 AC 水平较低，预示着 6 岁时 IC 水平较低。 27 个月时，养母的温暖调节了这种关联。在母亲温暖水平较高的情况下，低 AC 和低 IC 之间的纵向关联减弱。因此，高水平的早期母亲温暖可能有助于减少现有的 IC 缺陷风险的影响。亮点该研究检查了婴儿注意力控制、母亲温暖和儿童抑制控制之间的关联。通过亲子收养设计，我们发现母亲温暖调节了婴儿注意力控制和学龄抑制控制之间的关联。具有早期抑制控制缺陷风险的儿童可能会受益于父母参与促进幼儿期母亲高温暖温暖的干预措施。
Attention control (AC) is thought to play an important role in the development of inhibitory control (IC) in children, yet there are few longitudinal studies of this association. This study used a prospective parent-child adoption design (N = 361 children) to examine whether maternal warmth at child age 27 months moderated the link between AC during infancy and IC during childhood. Tobit regression analyses indicated that low levels of infant AC at 9 months predicted low levels of IC at 6 years, controlling for birth parent IC, prenatal risk, infant distress to limitations, child sex, and openness of adoption. Adoptive mother warmth at 27 months moderated this association. In the context of higher levels of maternal warmth, the longitudinal association between low AC and low IC was attenuated. Thus, high levels of early maternal warmth may help diminish the effects of extant risk for IC deficits.HighlightsThe study examined associations between infant attention control, maternal warmth, and children's inhibitory control.Using a parent-child adoption design, we found that maternal warmth moderated the association between infant attention control and school-age inhibitory control.Children with early risk for inhibitory control deficits may benefit from parental involvement in interventions that facilitate high maternal warmth during toddlerhood.
