The Stroop test was originally invented by Stroop to measure selective attention and cognitive flexibility and various versions of this test have been developed by many other researchers. Since the Stroop test requires the examinee's sustained efforts, it is not readily applicable to children with developmental disorders. In order to overcome this weakness, a modified Stroop test by reducing the total number of stimulations from 300 to 72 was proposed for clinical use. This study was performed to obtain the standard value of the modified Stroop test, and also to clarify the developmental changes in indices of interference effect. Two hundred eighty one normal children and adults, ranging from 6 to 20 years of age were examined. A simple regression analysis was performed to examine the relation between age and the score of indices such as Incongruent Color Naming (ICN), ICN--Color Naming (CN), ICN/CN. The results from this analysis showed significant age-related changes. Subjects between sixteen and seventeen showed the best score in each index. These findings suggest that a brain region and/or functional system of late maturation might participate in the execution of the interference task.
斯特鲁普测试最初由斯特鲁普发明,用于测量选择性注意力和认知灵活性,许多其他研究人员也开发了该测试的各种版本。由于斯特鲁普测试需要受试者持续努力,因此它不太适用于发育障碍儿童。为了克服这一弱点,有人提出了一种将刺激总数从300减少到72的改良斯特鲁普测试以供临床使用。本研究旨在获得改良斯特鲁普测试的标准值,并阐明干扰效应指标的发育变化。对281名年龄在6至20岁之间的正常儿童和成年人进行了检查。进行了简单回归分析,以检验年龄与诸如不一致颜色命名(ICN)、ICN-颜色命名(CN)、ICN/CN等指标得分之间的关系。该分析结果显示出与年龄相关的显著变化。16至17岁的受试者在每个指标上得分最高。这些发现表明,一个发育较晚的脑区和/或功能系统可能参与了干扰任务的执行。
