Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the family transmission of executive functions deficits (working memory and inhibitory control) from parents to children, using a combination of traditional and citizen science research approaches. The final sample consisted of 110 families with two children (440 participants; 110 pairs of children, 110 fathers and 110 mothers). Children were preadolescent (6 to 10 years old; 24 pairs) or adolescent (11 to 15 years old; 86 pairs) siblings. The research results indicated that the inhibitory control of the mother is related to the inhibitory control of the younger child, and that the inhibitory control of the father is related to the inhibitory control of the older child in the family, regardless of developmental period. In the father-child relationship, it was revealed that there is a strong connection between parental and child working memory. On the other hand, there are significant interaction of mothers' working memory and age of children in the second-born child. Potential mechanisms of transmission were discussed, bearing in mind the specifics of mother's and father's involvement in raising children, as well as the potential direction of this research question towards the sphere of behavioral genetics and parenting styles.

执行功能的家族传承：传统与公民科学研究方法的结合

这项研究的目的是采用传统研究和公民科学研究相结合的方法，考察执行功能缺陷（工作记忆和抑制控制）从父母到子女的家庭传递情况。最终样本包括 110 个有两个孩子的家庭（440 名参与者；110 对孩子，110 名父亲和 110 名母亲）。孩子们是青春期前（6 至 10 岁，24 对）或青春期（11 至 15 岁，86 对）的兄弟姐妹。研究结果表明，在家庭中，母亲的抑制控制与年幼孩子的抑制控制有关，父亲的抑制控制与年长孩子的抑制控制有关，与发育阶段无关。在父子关系中，研究发现父母与孩子的工作记忆之间存在密切联系。另一方面，母亲的工作记忆与第二胎孩子的年龄存在显著的交互作用。考虑到母亲和父亲参与养育子女的具体情况，并考虑到这一研究问题在行为遗传学和养育方式领域的潜在方向，对潜在的传播机制进行了讨论。
