Abstract

Objective: To investigate the relation between the use of Touch Screen Devices (TSDs), such as smartphones and tablets, and interference suppression as assessed by the Bivalent Shape Task (BST) in 5-11-year-old children.

Methods: Thirty-eight children from a Dutch primary school were included. Interference suppression was measured in the incongruent level of the BST. TSD use was measured by a standardized interview. The dataset was analyzed using multilevel analysis because of its nested structure.

Results: Children with moderate to high TSD use showed a longer reaction time (RT) as age progresses in the incongruent level (T = 2.40, p = .017), compared to children with no to low TSD use. Furthermore, an interaction between TSD use, age, gender, and the incongruent level demonstrated an increased RT in boys with moderate to high TSD use compared to boys with no to low TSD use as age increases (T = -2.23, p = .026).

Conclusion: The RT in response of interfering stimuli seems to be negatively influenced by TSD use as age progresses in children aged 5-11. Moreover, a gender-specific effect could be observed. Given the potential impact of these findings, more research would be helpful to further explore causal mechanisms.

5-11岁儿童使用触屏设备与干扰抑制的关系

目的：研究5-11岁儿童使用智能手机和平板电脑等触摸屏设备（TSD）与双价形状任务（BST）评估的干扰抑制之间的关系。方法：纳入荷兰一所小学的38名儿童。干扰抑制是在BST的不协调水平上测量的。TSD的使用是通过标准化访谈来测量的。由于数据集具有嵌套结构，因此使用多级分析对其进行了分析。结果：中度至高度TSD使用的儿童随着年龄的增长表现出较长的反应时间（RT），处于不协调水平（T = 2.40，p = .017），与未使用TSD至低使用TSD的儿童相比。此外，TSD的使用、年龄、性别和不协调水平之间的相互作用表明，随着年龄的增加，中度至高度TSD使用的男孩的RT比不使用至低度TSD的男孩增加（T = -2.23，p = .026）。结论：随着5-11岁儿童年龄的增长，TSD的使用似乎对干扰刺激的RT反应产生了负面影响。此外，还可以观察到针对性别的影响。鉴于这些发现的潜在影响，更多的研究将有助于进一步探索因果机制。

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.
