Abstract

Caregiver executive functions (EFs) play an integral role in shaping cognitive development. Here, we investigated how caregiver EF abilities (86 caregivers; mean age = 33.4 years, SD = 4.5) was associated with visual working memory (VWM) in infants (86 infants females; mean age = 250.6 days, SD = 35.8). The BRIEF‐A was used to assess caregiver EFs, and a preferential looking task along with fNIRS was used to assess VWM function in infants. Our findings revealed that better caregiver behavioral regulation was associated with better VWM performance, greater right‐lateralized parietal activation, and left‐lateralized frontal suppression, while better caregiver metacognition and emotional control was associated with greater right‐lateralized temporal suppression in infants. Taken together, these associations suggest that better caregiver EF abilities might shape visuo‐spatial attention and memory, guide fixation on task‐relevant goals, and suppress distractions in children from as early as the first year of life.Highlights The study investigated the association between caregiver executive functions (EF) and visual working memory (VWM) function in infants. Caregiver EFs were assessed using the BRIEF‐A questionnaire, and infant VWM function was assessed using the preferential‐looking task and brain imaging. Better caregiver EF abilities were associated with better VWM behavior and fronto‐temporo‐parietal engagement in infants.
护理人员的执行功能与婴儿的视觉工作记忆有关
照顾者的执行功能(EF)在塑造认知发展方面发挥着不可或缺的作用。在此,我们研究了看护者的执行功能(86 名看护者;平均年龄 = 33.4 岁,SD = 4.5)与婴儿(86 名女婴;平均年龄 = 250.6 天,SD = 35.8)的视觉工作记忆(VWM)之间的关系。我们使用 BRIEF-A 评估照顾者的 EF,并使用偏好观察任务和 fNIRS 评估婴儿的 VWM 功能。我们的研究结果表明,更好的照顾者行为调节与婴儿更好的VWM表现、更大的右侧顶叶激活和左侧额叶抑制有关,而更好的照顾者元认知和情绪控制与婴儿更大的右侧颞叶抑制有关。综上所述,这些关联表明,照顾者较好的执行功能可能会影响婴儿的视觉空间注意力和记忆力,引导他们将注意力集中在任务相关的目标上,并抑制他们的分心,这种情况最早出现在婴儿出生后的第一年。研究使用BRIEF-A问卷对照顾者的执行功能进行了评估,并使用偏好观察任务和脑成像技术对婴儿的视觉工作记忆功能进行了评估。照顾者较好的EF能力与婴儿较好的VWM行为和前颞顶叶参与度有关。
