Objective. This study examined the relationship between neural activity and executive function (EF) by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). In addition, an oral reading span test (RST) was used to explore this association. Methods. Fifteen adults participated in the study. We used the RST and simple reading as the two tasks. Results. The RST score and cortical hemodynamic response in the left inferior frontal gyrus were significantly correlated. Conclusion. Based on the oral RST performance assessment and NIRS examination, the present findings suggest a relationship between EF and cortical activation.
目的。本研究通过近红外光谱(NIRS)检测神经活动与执行功能(EF)之间的关系。此外,采用口头阅读广度测试(RST)来探究这种关联。方法。15名成年人参与了本研究。我们将RST和简单阅读作为两项任务。结果。RST分数与左侧额下回的皮质血流动力学反应显著相关。结论。基于口头RST表现评估和NIRS检查,目前的研究结果表明EF与皮质激活之间存在关联。
