Abstract:
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the difference of selective attention efficiency between children with low and high socioeconomic status (SES) and the promotional effect of attention network training (an attention network test was used as the training task) on selective attention in children with the low SES. A total of 139 10- to 12-year-old children participated in two experiments (71 in Experiment 1 and 68 in Experiment 2). The results suggest that selective attention and switch ability of children with high SES are better than those of children with low SES. After attention network training, selective attention, switch ability, and working memory of low-SES children improved significantly. The findings provide evidence that attention network training could enhance selective attention in low-SES children and that the beneficial training effect could also transfer to switch ability and working memory. The research may provide a promising method to compensate cognitive delay of low-SES children.
摘要:
本研究的目的是评估社会经济地位(SES)低和高儿童的选择性注意效率的差异以及注意网络训练(以注意网络测试为训练任务)对选择性注意的促进作用。SES低的儿童。共有139名10至12岁的儿童参加了两个实验(实验1为71名,实验2为68名)。结果表明,SES高的儿童的选择性注意力和开关能力优于SES低的儿童。经过网络关注培训,选择性注意,切换能力,低SES儿童的工作记忆明显改善。研究结果提供了证据,表明注意力网络训练可以增强低SES儿童的选择性注意力,并且有益的训练效果也可以转移到转换能力和工作记忆。该研究可能提供一种有希望的方法来补偿低SES儿童的认知延迟。
