This randomized controlled study examined neurological changes in socioemotional processing skills through parent training in caregivers of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Thirty mothers of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder were stratified into parent training and non-parent training groups. Functional magnetic resonance imaging was performed during the "Reading the Mind in the Eyes" test, and parenting difficulties were evaluated using the Parenting Stress Index and the Parenting Scale, twice (before and after parent training). Only mothers in the parent training group showed a significant decrease in Parenting Stress Index and Parenting Scale scores. They also demonstrated increased activity in the left occipital fusiform gyrus during the task of estimating emotions from facial pictures. We presumed that these changes might reflect the potential impact of enrollment in parent training in reducing stress, which might have increased activation of the fusiform gyrus.
这项随机对照研究通过对注意力缺陷/多动障碍儿童的照顾者进行家长培训，来观察社会情感处理技能的神经学变化。将 30 名患有注意力缺陷/多动障碍儿童的母亲分为家长培训组和非家长培训组。在“读心术眼动测试”期间进行功能性磁共振成像，使用父母压力指数和父母量表两次（培训前和培训后）评估育儿困难。只有参加家长培训的母亲的父母压力指数和父母量表评分显著降低。他们在估计面部图片情绪的任务中，左侧枕额下回的活动也增加了。我们推测，这些变化可能反映了参加家长培训对减轻压力的潜在影响，这可能增加了梭状回的激活。
