Stability in frontal brain electrical activity (i.e., electroencephalographic or EEG) asymmetry at 10 and 24 months was examined with respect to maternal ratings of internalizing and externalizing behaviors at 30 months in a sample of 48 children. Children with stable left frontal EEG asymmetry during infancy were rated higher in externalizing behaviors by their mothers, whereas children with stable right frontal EEG asymmetry were rated higher in internalizing behaviors. These findings highlight the need to focus on the early stability in physiological measures that may be implicated later in developing behavioral problems.
在一个由 48 名儿童组成的样本中,研究了婴儿期 10 个月和 24 个月时额叶脑电活动(即脑电图或 EEG)不对称的稳定性与 30 个月时母亲对内化和外化行为的评分之间的关系。婴儿期额叶 EEG 左侧稳定性较高的儿童,其母亲对其外化行为的评分较高,而右侧额叶 EEG 稳定性较高的儿童,其母亲对其内化行为的评分较高。这些发现强调了需要关注生理测量的早期稳定性,这可能与日后行为问题的发展有关。
