摘要

工作记忆的增强已经引起了人们的广泛关注,它可以改善儿童的生活。工作记忆训练的部分价值在于它能激活前额叶皮层。因此,确定前额叶皮层中被工作记忆训练激活的部分是很重要的。虽然有很多证据表明珠心算能有效地训练工作记忆,但很少有研究评估日本的珠心算(索罗班)是否应该被视为一种有效的工作记忆训练方法,以及它是否能激活前额叶皮层。因此,在本案例研究中,使用16通道功能性近红外光谱设备(OEG-16H,Spectratech,Japan),使用韦氏儿童工作记忆指数智力量表任务(即数字跨度(正向)、数字跨度(反向)、字母-数字排序和图片跨度任务),比较算盘任务期间的大脑激活。一年级男生和五年级女生参与了这项研究。结果显示,算盘任务会特别激活前额叶皮层的前部。这些发现支持了算盘活动是一种有效的工作记忆训练方法的可能性。

Activation of the Anterior Prefrontal Cortex by Abacus Activity in Children: A Case Study on the Effect of Moderate Load Training on Working Memory
Much attention has been paid to the enhancement of working memory, which can improve children’s lives. Part of the value of working memory training is that it activates the prefrontal cortex. Therefore, it is important to determine the parts of the prefrontal cortex that are activated by working memory training. While there is much evidence that mental abacus effectively trains working memory, few studies have assessed whether the abacus (Soroban) in Japan should be considered an effective training approach for working memory and if it activates the prefrontal cortex. Therefore, in this case study, a 16-channel functional near-infrared spectroscopy device (OEG-16H, Spectratech, Japan) was used to compare brain activation during the abacus task using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Working Memory Index tasks (i.e., digit span (forward), digit span (backward), letter–number sequencing, and picture span tasks). First-grade boys and fifth-grade girls participated in this study. The results revealed that the anterior part of the prefrontal cortex was specifically activated by the abacus task. These findings support the possibility that the abacus activity is an effective training approach for working memory.
