In an attempt to investigate the relationship of iron deficiency and mental status, cognitive development and attending behavior were assessed in nonanemic children aged 11 to 13 months who were severely or mildly iron deficient or were iron replete. Using two different approaches to the assessment of cognitive development and an habituation measure as an index of attending behavior, no statistically significant differences could be demonstrated in the overall level of performance between the iron-depleted and the iron-replete children. Isolated differences were demonstrated on a scale that measured fearfulness and on several of the scales that measured sensory areas of interest displayed.
为了研究缺铁与心理状态的关系，对11至13个月大的非贫血儿童进行了认知发展和注意力行为评估，这些儿童有严重或轻度缺铁情况或铁储备充足。采用两种不同的方法评估认知发展，并使用习惯化测量作为注意力行为的指标，缺铁儿童和铁储备充足的儿童在整体表现水平上没有显示出统计学上的显著差异。在一个测量恐惧程度的量表以及几个测量所表现出的感兴趣的感觉区域的量表上显示出了个别差异。
