The effect of physical stimulation on motor inhibition and cognitive performance of 70 third-grade children was examined. 46 subjects participated in a brief, but strenuous obstacle course. Their performance on two motor inhibition tasks, a short-term memory/attentional task, and a test assessing reflectivity was assessed before the stimulation, immediately afterward, and again after a 30-min. delay. A control group (n = 24) received comparable experience without the physical intervention. Physical stimulation facilitated fine motor inhibition at both the immediate and delayed retest. The intervention interfered with an apparent practice effect on the attentional task. No condition effects were noted for gross motor performance or reflectivity, although girls were significantly more reflective at retest. It is proposed that physical stimulation augments certain aspects of inhibitory control in children.
研究了身体刺激对70名三年级儿童运动抑制和认知表现的影响。46名受试者参加了一个简短但激烈的障碍课程。在刺激前、刺激后立即以及延迟30分钟后，评估了他们在两项运动抑制任务、一项短期记忆/注意力任务和一项评估反应能力的测试中的表现。一个对照组（n = 24）在没有身体干预的情况下接受了类似的体验。身体刺激在即时和延迟复测时都促进了精细运动抑制。该干预干扰了注意力任务上明显的练习效果。尽管女孩在复测时反应明显更强烈，但未观察到对粗大运动表现或反应能力的条件效应。研究表明，身体刺激增强了儿童抑制控制的某些方面。
