背景：我们研究了婴儿期和学龄儿童冲动和注意力不集中的前兆。儿童（50名男孩，39名女孩）从婴儿期开始就参与了布卢明顿纵向研究。方法：采用实验室测试和抑制控制、行为控制和注意脱离三个中心构念的观察，评估儿童8岁时自我调节能力的个体差异。结果：我们发现幼儿时期的照料者-儿童互动、儿童气质和儿童认知能力的测量显著预测了儿童后期冲动功能的变化。然而，这些关系的强度，以及重要风险因素的类型和组合，在后期儿童冲动的特定亚型中有不同的模式。结论：这些数据为儿童冲动性的多维性提供了进一步的证据，并强调了检查儿童后期自我调节能力的幼儿期前体的重要性。
Background: We examined infancy and toddler-age precursors of impulsivity and inattention in school-age children. Children (50 boys, 39 girls) had been participants since infancy in the Bloomington Longitudinal Study. Method: Individual differences in children's self-regulatory competence were assessed at 8 years of age, using laboratory tests and observations of three central constructs: Inhibitory Control, Behavioral Control, and Attentional Disengagement. Results: We found that measures of caregiver-child interaction, child temperament, and child cognitive competence during the toddler period significantly predicted variations in children's later impulsive functioning. However, the strength of these relationships, and the type and combination of significant risk factors, were differentially patterned in relation to specific subtypes of later child impulsivity. Conclusions: These data provide further evidence for the multidimensional nature of child impulsivity, and they highlight the importance of examining toddler-age precursors of children's later self-regulatory competence.
