Abstract

Sustained attention in infancy is a known predictor of executive functions, self-regulation, and language. This study investigated the relationship between 9- to 16-month-old infants’ sustained attention and joint attention in mother-infant dyads. Data were collected from 98 infants (M(SD) = 11.8(1.3) months) and their mothers. Results showed that joint attention during mother-infant play significantly predicted sustained attention during solo play, after accounting for infant age and socioeconomic status. These cross-sectional findings suggest that joint attention may play a role in supporting sustained attention, though the directionality of this relationship warrants further longitudinal investigation.

注意力分享是否支持注意力集中？调查婴儿持续注意力与照顾者共同注意力之间的联系

婴儿期持续的注意力是执行功能、自我调节和语言能力的一个已知预测指标。本研究探讨了9 ~ 16月龄婴儿持续注意与母婴共同注意的关系。数据来自98名婴儿(M（SD) = 11.8（1.3）个月）及其母亲。结果表明，在考虑了婴儿年龄和社会经济地位的影响后，母婴游戏时的共同注意力显著预测了单独游戏时的持续注意力。这些横断面研究结果表明，共同注意可能在支持持续注意方面发挥作用，尽管这种关系的方向性需要进一步的纵向研究。
