Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of neurofeedback (NF) based on quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) and SmartMind game on the time perception, attention, and working memory of children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) through an experimental design.

Method: Using a purposive sampling method, 32 male students diagnosed with ADHD were selected and then randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received the treatment (NF + SmartMind) for 30 weekly sessions. Children's performances on a time perception test, a Continuous Performance Test (CPT), and a Wechsler working memory test (WISC) were examined before and after the intervention.

Results: A significant difference was observed between the mean scores of the pretest and post-test for the experimental group, implying that NF training improved short-time perception and long-time perception attention in CPT test: omission error component, Correct Response component, and working memory: Visual forward component. However, the treatment did not have a significant effect on the commission error component (CPT), working memory in terms of the visual reverse, auditory reverse, and auditory forward components.

Conclusion: NF combined with computer cognitive games (CCGs) can improve time perception, attention, and working memory in children with ADHD.

神经反馈训练与计算机认知游戏相结合对多动症儿童时间知觉、注意力和工作记忆的影响。

研究目的本研究旨在通过实验设计，探讨基于定量脑电图（QEEG）的神经反馈（NF）和 SmartMind 游戏对注意力缺陷/多动症（ADHD）儿童的时间感知、注意力和工作记忆的影响：方法：采用目的性抽样方法，选取 32 名被诊断为多动症的男生，然后将他们随机分配到实验组和对照组。实验组每周接受 30 次治疗（NF + SmartMind）。对干预前后儿童在时间感知测试、连续表现测试（CPT）和韦氏工作记忆测试（WISC）中的表现进行了检测：结果：实验组在前测和后测的平均分之间存在明显差异，这表明 NF 训练提高了儿童在 CPT 测试中的短时感知和长时感知注意力：遗漏错误部分、正确反应部分和工作记忆：视觉前向部分。然而，该训练对CPT测试中的犯错部分、工作记忆中的视觉逆向部分、听觉逆向部分和听觉正向部分没有显著影响：结论：NF与计算机认知游戏（CCG）相结合可改善多动症儿童的时间感知、注意力和工作记忆。

期刊介绍： Applied Neuropsychology: Child publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in children. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of child patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
