Abstract

Purpose

This study assessed the relationship between neuroelectric indices of attention and inhibition and academic skills in children 4–6 years-old. We hypothesized that modulation of the P3 and N2 components would be related to academic skills.

Methods

Participants (N = 27, 16 female) completed The Woodcock Johnson Early Cognitive and Academic Development Test to assess general intellectual abilities (GIA) and early academic skills (EAS). Electroencephalography was recorded during an auditory oddball task to elicit P3 and N2 components. Two-step linear regressions including age, sex, income, and GIA assessed relationships between P3 and N2 modulations and EAS.

Results

P3 peak amplitude (R²=0.765, β=0.379, p = 0.030) and N2 mean (R²=0.759, β=0.302, p = 0.039) and peak (R²=0.759, β=0.303, p = 0.038) amplitude modulation were positively related to EAS.

Conclusion

Upregulation of P3 and N2 components was associated with EAS independent of GIA. Therefore, neuroelectric assessments of attention and inhibition may a biomarker of academic achievement in early childhood.

学龄前儿童注意神经电指标与学业技能相关

目的本研究评估了4-6岁儿童注意和抑制的神经电指标与学习技能之间的关系。我们假设P3和N2成分的调节与学术技能有关。方法参与者（N=27，16名女性）完成Woodcock-Johnson早期认知和学术发展测试，以评估一般智力（GIA）和早期学术技能（EAS）。在听觉怪人任务期间记录脑电图，以引出P3和N2成分。包括年龄、性别、收入、，结果P3峰值振幅（R2=0.765，β=0.379，p=0.030）、N2平均值（R2=0.759，β=0.302，p=0.039）和峰值（R2=0.799，β0.303，p=0.038）振幅调制与EAS呈正相关。结论P3和N2成分的上调与EAS无关。因此，注意力和抑制的神经电评估可能是儿童早期学业成就的生物标志物。
