桌上翻牌遊戲對幼兒視覺空間工作記憶的影響

Abstract

本研究旨在檢視桌上翻牌遊戲是否能夠有效提升幼兒園大班幼兒之視覺空間工作記憶相關能力。本研究以滿5足歲的幼兒為研究對象（共32位），將幼兒隨機分派為「實驗組」與「等待式控制組」後，先後對兩組幼兒進行為期兩週（每週5次）的桌上翻牌遊戲介入。研究結果發現兩組在實驗活動介入後，在視覺空間工作記憶各項相關能力上皆無介入的立即效果，但實驗組在視覺空間工作記憶測驗表現上有顯著的延宕保留效果，而此延宕效果並非全部來自練習效應，惟考慮本研究樣本數不大，此研究結論仍有待後續大樣本研究進一步驗證。本研究結論可做為在學前階段以桌上翻牌遊戲提升幼兒視覺空間工作記憶表現的初步實徵證據。

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the concentration game can effectively improve visuospatial working memory ability in kindergarten children. In this study, 32 5-year-old children were randomly assigned to "experimental group" and "waiting control group". Two groups of children were asked to play the concentration game 5 times a week for two weeks. The results showed no immediate effect of intervention on the related ability of visuospatial working memory for both groups; however, the experimental group had a significant delayed effect on visuospatial working memory performance, and the delayed effect cannot be fully accounted by the practice effect. However, considering the small number of samples in the current study, the conclusion of this study is still to be verified by the follow-up large sample study. Nevertheless, it provides preliminary evidence for the role of concentration game in improving the performance of visuospatial working memory in young children.
