DEVELOPMENT OF EFFORTFUL CONTROL

描述(改编自申请人的摘要)：本报告的目的 项目是追踪不同年龄之间努力控制的发展 37个月和48个月，并调查儿童的语言和身体 在此期间控制的自我调节策略。努力的 控制是良知发展的一个主要因素， 儿童和成人的情绪控制。三个要素 行政控制包括：(1)解决冲突，(2)有能力 监控错误和(3)调整行为以满足情景需求。 两项拟议的横断面研究将提供细粒度的分析 行政控制的这些组成部分之间的关系第一 会使用修改后的Simon-Said任务来引发冲突，然后检查 儿童抑制性控制的发展，控制策略， 和错误检测。第二项研究将引入随机混合冲突 和非冲突审判，以审查这些职能的发展和 探索它们是否在所研究的每个年龄段独立发挥作用。 两项研究都将使用儿童行为问卷(CBQ)，即 护理者气质报告，考察二者之间的关系 儿童解决冲突、发现错误和制定策略的能力 在实验室中的使用，和照顾者报告儿童的水平 自然主义环境中的努力控制和消极情绪。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from applicant's abstract): The objectives of this project are to trace the development of effortful control between the ages of 37 and 48 months, and to investigate children's verbal and physical self-regulatory strategies for control during this period. Effortful control is a major contributor to the development of conscience and the control of emotion for both children and adults. Three elements of executive control include: (1) conflict resolution, (2) the ability to monitor errors and (3) modulation of behavior to meet situational demands. Two proposed cross-sectional studies would provide a fine-grained analysis of the relationship among these components of executive control The first would use a modified Simon-Says task to induce conflict, and then examine the development of children's inhibitory control, strategies for control, and error detection. A second study would introduce randomly mixed conflict and non-conflict trials to examine the development of these functions and explore whether they function independently at each of the ages studied. Both studies would use the Children's Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ), a caregiver report of temperament, to examine the relationship between children's capacity for conflict resolution, error detection and strategy use in the laboratory, and caregiver report of children's levels of effortful control and negative affect in naturalistic settings.
