Abstract This study aims to investigate the inhibition construct in preschool age children and to examine how diverse inhibition dimensions may affect working memory task performance. A battery of inhibition tasks, two working memory tasks, a short-term memory task and an updating task were administered to 90 typically developing children of five years of age. Exploratory factor analysis yielded two inhibition dimensions: a response inhibition dimension and an interference suppression dimension. Then, a series of two-step hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the contribution of these two inhibition dimensions, which were considered as formative indices, on memory tasks while controlling for fluid intelligence. Our results demonstrated that the two inhibition dimensions account differently for memory tasks.

不同的抑制维度对 5 岁儿童的工作记忆表现有不同的影响

摘要 本研究旨在调查学龄前儿童的抑制结构，并研究不同的抑制维度如何影响工作记忆任务的表现。对 90 名正常发育的 5 岁儿童进行了一系列抑制任务、两项工作记忆任务、一项短期记忆任务和一项更新任务。探索性因素分析产生两个抑制维度：反应抑制维度和干扰抑制维度。然后，进行了一系列两步分层多元线性回归分析，以检查这两个被视为形成指标的抑制维度对记忆任务的贡献，同时控制流体智力。我们的结果表明，两个抑制维度对记忆任务的解释不同。
