摘要
以长春市某幼儿园的122名3~6岁幼儿为被试,采用2(测试任务:无嵌套规则白天黑夜任务,有嵌套规则的白天黑夜任务)×2(测试时间:间隔9个月的第一次测试和第二次测试)×4(年龄分组:3.00~3.75岁组,3.76~4.50岁组,4.51~5.25岁组,5.26~6.00岁组)的三因素混合设计,来分析不同复杂程度的抑制控制在学前阶段的发展趋势,并在控制幼儿年龄和工作记忆水平后,分析不同复杂程度抑制控制对言语理解和数学认知的独立预测作用。结果发现:(1)对3~6岁儿童来说,有嵌套规则的白天黑夜任务的难度水平要显著高于无嵌套规则的白天黑夜任务;(2)较简单的抑制控制(无嵌套规则的白天黑夜任务)在学前阶段的发展速度先快后慢,但较复杂的抑制控制(有嵌套规则的白天黑夜任务)在3~6岁期间持续快速发展;(3)独立于年龄和工作记忆,较复杂的抑制控制能够显著预测幼儿的数学认知和言语理解,但较简单的抑制控制对言语理解和数学认知的预测作用不显著。根据上述结果,在描述学前儿童抑制控制发展趋势时要注意任务难度的设定,而且难度适当的抑制控制任务成绩更能预测幼儿的言语理解和数学认知。
As one of the core executive functions, inhibitory control is very important to other executive function skills and academic achievement. The most impressive change in inhibitory control occurs during the preschool period. Some studies found that 3-3.75 years was the period, in which rapid change would occur. But the tasks of inhibitory control in those studies did not apply to eider preschool children. It was too easy for elder preschool children to reflect their real level. In order to avoid the false conclusion, this study designed a more complex task to explore the developmental tendency of inhibitory control in preschoolers from 3 to 6 years old. And this study also explored the predictive effects of inhibitory control with different levels of complexity on verbal comprehension and mathematical cognition. The experimental design included three factors, which was 2（test time： Time 1, Time 2, the interval of 9 months）×2（types of task： the day-night task without nested rules, the day-night task with nested rules） ×4（age groups： 3.00-3.75, 3.76-4.50, 4.51-5.25, 5.26-6.00）. The first two factors were within-subjects＇ factors, and the third factor was between-subjects factor. One hundred and twenty-two preschoolers aged 3-6 participated in this study and finished all the tests. There were 9-month follow-up tests of inhibitory control and work memory. And the task of work memory was self-ordered pointing task. In the second test, preschoolers also finished the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test （Fourth Edition） and Mathematical Cognition Test. The results were as the follows： Firstly, the scores of the day-night task with nested rules were lower than the scores of the day-night task without nested rules in the preschoolers aged 3-6. The inhibitory control based on the day-night task with nested rules was more complex than the inhibitory control based on the day-night task without nested rules. Secondly, in the preschool stage from 3 to 6 years, the less complex inhibitory control increase
