Objective: We explored associations between infant attentional behaviors as measured by the First Year Inventory (FYIv2.0) and dimensional ratings of ADHD symptomatology and executive function (EF) in early childhood. Methods: This study included parents (N = 229) who filled out the FYIv2.0 when their children were 12 months of age. When children were approximately 54 months (4.5 years) of age, parents completed reports of children’s ADHD symptomatology and EF abilities. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted among measures. Results: We found significant associations among the variables of interest, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally, as well as gender differences. Notably, non-social sensory attention (NSA) was significantly related to 54-month ADHD symptom severity. All three 12-month attention variables were significantly related to 54-month EF. Conclusion: Results suggest that infant attentional behaviors predict later ADHD-related behaviors in early childhood. Future research should explore associations using laboratory-based measures and could inform early intervention efforts.

目的：我们探讨了通过第一年量表 (FYIv2.0) 测量的婴儿注意力行为与幼儿期 ADHD 症状和执行功能 (EF) 的维度评级之间的关联。方法：本研究纳入了在孩子 12 个月大时填写 FYIv2.0 的父母（ N = 229）。当孩子大约 54 个月（4.5 岁）大时，父母完成了儿童 ADHD 症状和 EF 能力的报告。在测量之间进行相关和回归分析。结果：我们发现感兴趣的变量之间存在显着关联（横向和纵向）以及性别差异。值得注意的是，非社会感觉注意力（NSA）与 54 个月的 ADHD 症状严重程度显着相关。所有三个 12 个月注意力变量均与 54 个月 EF 显着相关。结论：结果表明，婴儿的注意力行为可以预测儿童早期的 ADHD 相关行为。未来的研究应该利用基于实验室的措施来探索关联，并为早期干预工作提供信息。
