Abstract

Objective: To compare the effect of motivational features on sustained attention in children born very preterm and at term.

Method: EEG was recorded while 34 8-to-11-year-old children born very preterm and 34 term-born peers completed two variants of a cued continuous performance task (CPT-AX); a standard CPT-AX with basic shape stimuli, and structurally similar motivating variant, with a storyline, familiar characters, and feedback.

Results: Higher hit rates, quicker response times and larger event-related potential (ERP) amplitudes were observed during the motivating, compared with the standard, task. Although groups did not differ in task performance, between-task differences in ERPs associated with orienting were larger in term-born than very preterm children.

Conclusion: The findings add to previous evidence of disruption to the brain networks that support salience detection and selective attention in children born preterm. Manipulations that increase intrinsic motivation can promote sustained attention in both term-born and very preterm children.

动机对早产儿和足月儿持续注意的影响：一项ERP研究。

目的：比较动机特征对极早产儿和足月儿持续注意的影响。方法：对34例8 ~ 11岁极早产儿和34例足月早产儿完成两种提示连续表现任务（CPT-AX）时的脑电图进行记录；一个标准的CPT-AX，具有基本的形状刺激，结构上类似的激励变体，具有故事情节，熟悉的角色和反馈。结果：与标准任务相比，在激励任务中观察到更高的命中率、更快的反应时间和更大的事件相关电位（ERP）振幅。虽然各组在任务表现上没有差异，但与定向相关的erp任务间差异在足月出生的儿童中比非常早产的儿童更大。结论：这些发现进一步证实了先前的证据，即支持早产儿显著性检测和选择性注意的大脑网络受到了破坏。增加内在动机的操作可以促进足月和早产儿的持续注意力。
