Understanding the changes in cognitive processing that accompany changes in posture can expand our understanding of embodied cognition and open new avenues for applications in (neuro)ergonomics. Recent studies have challenged the question of whether standing up alters cognitive performance. An electronic database search for randomized controlled trials was performed using Academic Search Complete, CINAHL Ultimate, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Web of Science following PRISMA guidelines, PICOS framework, and standard quality assessment criteria (SQAC). We pooled data from a total of 603 healthy young adults for incongruent and 578 for congruent stimuli and Stroop effect (mean age = 24 years). Using random-effects results, no difference was found between sitting and standing for the Stroop effect (Hedges' = 0.13, 95% CI = -0.04 to 0.29, = 0.134), even when comparing congruent (Hedges' = 0.10; 95% CI: -0.132 to 0.339; = 0.86; = 0.389) and incongruent (Hedges' = 0.18; 95% CI: -0.072 to 0.422; = 1.39; = 0.164) stimuli separately. Importantly, these results imply that changing from a seated to a standing posture in healthy young adults is unlikely to have detrimental effects on selective attention and cognitive control. To gain a full understanding of this phenomenon, further research should examine this effect in a population of healthy older adults, as well as in a population with pathology.
了解伴随姿势变化的认知加工变化可以扩展我们对具身认知的理解，并为（神经）工效学的应用开辟新途径。最近的研究对站立是否会改变认知表现提出了质疑。根据 PRISMA 指南、PICOS 框架和标准质量评估标准 (SQAC)，我们在 Academic Search Complete、CINAHL Ultimate、MEDLINE、PubMed 和 Web of Science 中进行了电子数据库检索，以查找随机对照试验。我们总共汇集了 603 名健康年轻成年人的不一致刺激和 578 名健康年轻成年人的一致刺激和斯特鲁普效应（平均年龄为 24 岁）的数据。使用随机效应结果，坐姿和站立对斯特鲁普效应没有差异（Hedges'=0.13，95%CI=-0.04 至 0.29，=0.134），即使在比较一致刺激（Hedges'=0.10；95%CI：-0.132 至 0.339；=0.86；=0.389）和不一致刺激（Hedges'=0.18；95%CI：-0.072 至 0.422；=1.39；=0.164）时也是如此。重要的是，这些结果表明，对于健康的年轻成年人，从坐姿变为站姿不太可能对选择性注意和认知控制产生不利影响。为了全面了解这一现象，进一步的研究应该在健康的老年人群体以及患有病理学的人群中研究这种影响。
