中文摘要:

目前已有许多研究证据表明,工作记忆训练能提高成人、儿童的流体智力成绩,然而这种训练是否能够提高幼儿的流体智力表现,更为重要的是,如果训练确有成效,那么这种训练效果能否长期保持?为此,本研究选择了幼儿园4~5岁幼儿进行工作记忆训练任务,考察工作记忆训练对流体智力的提升及保持效应。实验中设立3个组:实验组、控制1组和控制2组。实验组采用单个空间n-back的工作记忆游戏程序进行训练,控制1组采用“水果忍者”的游戏程序进行训练,两组进行游戏训练的时间均为14天,每天15min;控制2组不进行任何训练。结果发现,训练后实验组幼儿被试的流体智力成绩明显优于两个控制组,在6个月后再进行测试,这种优势仍然保持。本研究结果表明,n-back工作记忆训练可以提高幼儿的流体智力成绩,并且这种训练效果具有持续的稳定性。

英文摘要:

Fluid intelligence is one of the general intelligence types originally proposed by Cattell (1963), which refers to the innate ability of analytically solving novel problems and logically identifying new patterns and relationships. Increasing evidence has shown that cognitive training, especially those aiming at enhancing working memory, can significantly improve fluid intelligence. Moreover, central executive functions, especially working memory updating, were reported to positively correlate with individual intelligence. Thus, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to investigate whether working memory training can improve fluid intelligence. Recent studies have shown that, after short-term working memory training, performance in fluid intelligence tests, including running memory task and n-back paradigm, was improved both in adults and school-aged children. It is therefore suggested that the transfer of an improved working memory updating ability contributed to the reported training effects. However, there remain 2 major unsolved problems. On the one hand, although training has been reported effective for adults and school-aged children, few studies have focused on pre-school children. On the other hand, the demonstration of long-term effects was unreliable, because the reported studies either failed to examine lasting effects or lacked time for confirmation. In our study, 96 children aged 4-5 from one kindergarten participated in the experiment. They were randomly selected from 3 classes and assigned to 3 groups - experimental group, control group 1, and control group 2. Participants in experimental group were trained for 15 minutes per day for a period of 14 days using an n-back working memory training program displayed on tablet computers. In this program, participants were shown a series of stimuli and asked to judge whether the current stimulus is the same as the one displayed before the previous n items. As n increased, the task difficulty increased, resulting in higher demands of wo
