Direct and moderated connections among symptoms of inattention, High‐Frequency Heart Rate Variability (HF‐HRV), and reading comprehension scores were examined. Children age 7 to 12 were rated by both parents and teachers on symptoms of inattention with the Behavior Assessment System for Children. Reading was assessed with the Peabody Individualized Achievement Test, and HF‐HRV was examined during a Stroop task. Controlling for reading recognition scores, results were consistent with previous work, showing HF‐HRV was significantly negatively associated with reading comprehension, with lower HF‐HRV predicting higher reading scores. HF‐HRV also significantly moderated the relationship between symptoms of inattention and reading comprehension, suggesting that as symptoms of inattention increase, children with low HF‐HRV had higher reading comprehension scores. Variations in parasympathetic reactivity may help explain reading comprehension heterogeneity for children with symptoms of inattention.

Stroop任务的注意力不集中，阅读理解和自主调节问题

研究了注意力不集中，高频心率变异性（HF-HRV）和阅读理解分数之间的直接和中等联系。父母和老师均通过儿童行为评估系统对7至12岁儿童的注意力不集中症状进行了评分。用皮博迪个性化成就测验评估阅读效果，并在Stroop任务中检查HF-HRV。控制阅读识别分数的结果与以前的工作一致，表明HF-HRV与阅读理解显着负相关，而HF-HRV较低则表明阅读分数较高。HF-HRV还可以显着缓解注意力不集中症状与阅读理解之间的关系，表明随着注意力不集中症状的增加，HF-HRV低的孩子的阅读理解分数更高。副交感反应性的变化可能有助于解释患有注意力不集中症状的儿童的阅读理解异质性。
