Independently, interoceptive awareness and executive functioning play major roles in children's abilities to engage in their daily occupations. This study investigated the potential relationship between neurotypical school-age children's interoceptive awareness and executive functioning.
A convenience sample of 30 children (8-12 years) completed the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness-youth and one of their parents completed the Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function - Second Edition (BRIEF2). Spearman rho correlations and linear regression analyses with bootstrapping were completed.
The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness-youth Emotional Awareness aspect of interoceptive awareness was significantly correlated with and predictive of the following BRIEF2 executive functioning components: Emotion Regulation Index (ρ = 0.402, = 0.888, < 0.001), Cognitive Regulation Index (ρ = 0.364, = 0.256, < 0.001) and the Global Executive Composite (ρ = 0.049, = 0.128, < 0.012), as well as the following subscales: Organisation of Materials (ρ = 0.422, = 0.150, < 0.020), Working Memory (ρ = 0.393, = 0.085, < 0.033), Emotional Control (ρ = 0.394, = 0.176, < 0.002) and Inhibit (ρ = 0.373, = 0.141, < 0.003).
It appears that there is a significant and predictive relationship between neurotypical children's interoceptive awareness and aspects of their executive functioning.
内感受觉知和执行功能在儿童参与日常活动的能力中各自发挥着重要作用。本研究调查了发育正常的学龄儿童的内感受觉知与执行功能之间的潜在关系。
选取30名8至12岁儿童作为便利样本,完成青少年内感受觉知多维评估,其父母一方完成执行功能行为评定量表第二版(BRIEF2)。完成了斯皮尔曼等级相关分析和带自抽样的线性回归分析。
青少年内感受觉知多维评估中的情绪觉知方面与BRIEF2执行功能的以下组成部分显著相关且具有预测性:情绪调节指数(ρ = 0.402, = 0.888, < 0.001)、认知调节指数(ρ = 0.364, = 0.256, < 0.001)和总体执行综合指数(ρ = 0.049, = 0.128, < 0.012),以及以下分量表:材料组织(ρ = 0.422, = 0.150, < 0.020)、工作记忆(ρ = 0.393, = 0.085, < 0.033)、情绪控制(ρ = 0.394, = 0.176, < 0.002)和抑制(ρ = 0.373, = 0.141, < 0.003)。
发育正常儿童的内感受觉知与其执行功能各方面之间似乎存在显著的预测关系。
