Abstract

ABSTRACT Previous research addressed the cognitive antecedents of children’s ability to plan future routine events mainly in terms of executive functioning. Additionally, most studies assessed planning through ‘high structure’ tools (e.g., the Tower of London), whereas little research employed ecological ‘low structure’ paper-pencil tasks, such as the Key Search Task (KST). The primary aim of the current research was to investigate, in a sample of 45 Italian school-age children (meanage = 5.08; SD = 0.80; rangeage = 5–8 years), the role of fluid intelligence (Gf), core executive functions — CEFs (working memory, inhibition and shifting), as well as their interactions in planning performance, using the KST. Results revealed that Gf was the main predictor of planning, whereas only inhibition moderated the Gf-planning link. These findings suggested that better competencies in inhibition promote children’s ability to reason and solve problems requiring systematic and ecological plans of action. Implications and limits were also considered.
检验规划未来常规事件的认知决定因素:一项针对意大利学龄儿童的试点研究
以往的研究主要从执行功能的角度探讨儿童计划未来日常事件能力的认知前因。此外,大多数研究通过“高结构”工具(如伦敦塔)评估规划,而很少有研究采用生态“低结构”纸笔任务,如关键搜索任务(KST)。当前研究的主要目的是调查45名意大利学龄儿童(平均= 5.08;Sd = 0.80;范围= 5-8岁),流体智力(Gf)的作用,核心执行功能- CEFs(工作记忆,抑制和转移),以及它们在计划绩效中的相互作用,使用KST。结果显示,Gf是计划的主要预测因子,而只有抑制才能调节Gf-计划的联系。这些发现表明,更好的抑制能力促进了儿童推理和解决需要系统和生态行动计划的问题的能力。还审议了影响和限制。
