Study on Sustained Attention in Children with Functional Articulation Disorder / 中国临床心理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the etiology and pathology of functional articulation disorder(FAD) by studying sustained attention in children with FAD.Methods: 32 FAD children were selected as test group,and 32 normal children in the same age served as control group.Intelligence and Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test(IVA-CPT) were administered to all participants.The differences of sustained attention were compared between the two groups.Results: Auditory attention quotient and full scale attention quotient of children with FAD were inferior to those in control group.Conclusion: The sustained attention of children with FAD was much lower than normal children,which perhaps is a contributing factor in FAD.
