Compared a group of school-age children with spina bifida (n = 15) between the ages of 6 and 12 years with an age- and IQ-matched control group of normal children (n = 15). As predicted, the spina bifida children spent less time using goal-directed behaviors and more time in simple manipulation of the toys compared to the normal children. There were no group differences between the spina bifida and normal children's perceived competence but parents of the spina bifida children rated their children as having lower cognitive and physical competence. Associations were found between goal-directed behaviors and perceived self-competence for children in the spina bifida group but not the normal group.
将一组6至12岁患脊柱裂的学龄儿童（n = 15）与一组年龄和智商匹配的正常儿童对照组（n = 15）进行比较。正如预期的那样，与正常儿童相比，脊柱裂儿童使用目标导向行为的时间较少，而在简单摆弄玩具上花费的时间更多。脊柱裂儿童和正常儿童在感知能力方面没有组间差异，但脊柱裂儿童的父母认为他们的孩子在认知和身体能力方面较低。在脊柱裂组儿童中发现了目标导向行为与自我感知能力之间的关联，但在正常组中未发现。
