This article reviews 44 studies that investigated the efficacy of biofeedback techniques in treating childhood behavioral and learning disorders. Although the data suggest that children can learn voluntary control over a variety of physiological processes, methodological flaws make it impossible to specify the mechanisms responsible for such learning. Further, the data do not suggest that biofeedback techniques are superior to more conventional treatments in remediating learning or behavioral disorders. Suggestions for future research focus upon the elimination of methodological weaknesses, the use of more stringent diagnostic criteria, and the use of more sophisticated biofeedback equipment and procedures.
本文综述了44项研究，这些研究调查了生物反馈技术在治疗儿童行为和学习障碍方面的疗效。尽管数据表明儿童能够学会对各种生理过程进行自主控制，但方法上的缺陷使得无法确定导致这种学习的机制。此外，数据并未表明生物反馈技术在矫正学习或行为障碍方面优于更传统的治疗方法。对未来研究的建议集中在消除方法上的弱点、使用更严格的诊断标准，以及使用更精密的生物反馈设备和程序。
