The Effect Of Executive Function On Preschoolers' Peer Interaction: Theory Of Mind As The Mediator

Peer interaction refers to the interaction between children and their peers or individuals with the same social cognitive ability,which is an important form of social interaction between children.In kindergarten or school teaching,we found that some children in the companion is very popular,and some children because they are not good at companions and cannot be integrated into the collective or even often overlooked by everyone.In recent years,a number of studies have shown that children's psychological theory level will affect their peer contacts,children's executive function may also affect their companions.However,in previous studies,most of the studies were conducted on children's behavior or were concerned with defective individuals,less healthy children,and most of the studies did not directly indicate that children's executive function was associated with children The relationship between.This study,combined with the results of empirical research,explores the impact of executive function on pre-school children's peer interaction,and on this basis to explore the psychological theory in the implementation of function and peer interaction between the intermediary role.In order to explore the effect of executive function on peer-to-peer interaction,this study selected four executive function tasks that were more commonly used and developed for children aged 3-5 years: lion/tiger,green grass/snow,Kansas pre-school children impulse response Task and dimension change card classification,using peer positive nomination and teacher assessment method to measure the ability of peer companion,and select Lin Chuanding and Zhang Houcan and other revised "preschool children intelligence test scale" in the vocabulary test speech ability measurement.On the basis of the ability to perform communication with the ability of peer-to-peer communication,the executive function can predict the ability of children's peer interaction,and further adopt the classical psychological theory research paradigm-level error belief to understand the task(accident location and accident content)to explore the psychological theory in the implementation of Function and companion interaction between the intermediary role.Research indicates:1)The implementation of pre-school children with peer-related functions,and the implementation of the function to predict the children's peer active nomination,social initiative and social barriers;2)Pre-school children's psychological theory in the executive function and peer interaction played a part of the intermediary role,the specific performance of the psychological theory part of the executive function to the companion positive nomination between the impact,and fully mediated the implementation of the function to social initiative Impact.The executive function affects the preconceived children by influencing the theory of mind.3)Pre-school children's executive function of their social barriers have a separate predictive effect,psychological theory of pre-school children's altruistic behavior and language and non-verbal communication ability to have a separate predictive role.
