标题:An Analysis of the Cognitive Processes of 5-Year-Old Children: A Focus on a Performance of Cognitive Assessment System Based on Gender,Monthly Age,and Tendencies towards Hyperactivity
摘要:This study investigated the cognitive process of 5-year-old children,with a particular focus on gender,monthly age,and their tendencies towards hyperactivity through the performance of the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS;Das & Naglieri,1997). The children with tendencies towards hyperactivity were identified based on Conners Teachers’ Rating Scale (CTRS). The subjects were 75 five-year-old children in Seoul and surrounding metropolitan areas. Data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics,an independent sample t-test,Pearson’s correlation coefficient,one-way ANOVA. and by K-mcan cluster analysis. Our results were as follows : (l)Thc CAS and CTRS' sub-factors were correlated negatively,except the positive correlation between planning factor and hyperactivity factor. (2) Girls exhibited significantly higher CAS scores in planning & sequential processing than boys. (3) The upper monthly age group (68-71 months) showed significantly higher score in terms of planning than the lower monthly age group (60-63 months). (4) The CAS scores of the children with tendencies towards hyperactivity was lower than that of normal children. (5) The CAS profile of 5-year-old children was divided into 4 groups with distinctive characteristics by means of K-mean cluster analysis.
