The predictive power of early visual attention in terms of later cognitive functioning was compared to standard developmental test scores and further early predictors of later development. In a longitudinal study of 226 infants at risk visual attention in a habituation-dishabituation paradigm was assessed at 3 months and cognitive development was measured at 3, 24 and 54 months. The results indicated that response decrement and response recovery measures are related to cognitive outcome in later childhood, but failed to support their superiority over standard developmental test scores or early biological and psychosocial predictors of later IQ. Methodological shortcomings of previous studies and theoretical weaknesses of the habituation concept were discussed as a possible explanation.
将早期视觉注意力对后期认知功能的预测能力与标准发育测试分数以及后期发育的其他早期预测指标进行了比较。在一项对226名高危婴儿的纵向研究中，在3个月时通过习惯化-去习惯化范式评估了视觉注意力，并在3个月、24个月和54个月时测量了认知发展。结果表明，反应递减和反应恢复指标与儿童后期的认知结果相关，但未能证明它们优于标准发育测试分数或后期智商的早期生物学和社会心理预测指标。讨论了先前研究的方法学缺陷和习惯化概念的理论弱点，作为一种可能的解释。
