Abstract:
Sensory integration is increasingly acknowledged as being crucial for the development of cognitive and social abilities. However, its developmental trajectory is still little understood. This systematic review delves into the topic by investigating the literature about the developmental changes from infancy through adolescence of the Temporal Binding Window (TBW) - the epoch of time within which sensory inputs are perceived as simultaneous and therefore integrated. Following comprehensive searches across PubMed, Elsevier, and PsycInfo databases, only experimental, behavioral, English-language, peer-reviewed studies on multisensory temporal processing in 0-17-year-olds have been included. Non-behavioral, non-multisensory, and non-human studies have been excluded as those that did not directly focus on the TBW. The selection process was independently performed by two Authors. The 39 selected studies involved 2859 participants in total. Findings indicate a predisposition towards cross-modal asynchrony sensitivity and a composite, still unclear, developmental trajectory, with atypical development associated to increased asynchrony tolerance. These results highlight the need for consistent and thorough research into TBW development to inform potential interventions.
摘要:
越来越多的人认为感觉统合对于认知和社交能力的发展至关重要。然而,它的发展轨迹仍然知之甚少。本系统综述通过调查有关从婴儿期到青春期的时间结合窗口(TBW)的发育变化的文献来深入研究该主题,TBW是感觉输入被感知为同时并因此被整合的时间时代。在整个PubMed中进行全面搜索之后,Elsevier,和PsycInfo数据库,只是实验性的,行为,英语语言,纳入了同行评审的0-17岁儿童多感官时间处理研究。非行为,非多重感官,和非人类研究已被排除,因为那些没有直接关注TBW。选择过程由两位作者独立进行。39项选定的研究总共涉及2,859名参与者。研究结果表明,倾向于跨模态异步敏感性和复合,还不清楚,发展轨迹,非典型发育与异步耐受性增加有关。这些结果强调了对TBW开发进行一致和彻底的研究的必要性,以告知潜在的干预措施。
