چکیده

مقدمه و اهداف
توجه پایدار لازمه انجام تکالیف مستمر زندگی روزانه است. هدف از مطالعه حاضر بررسی سیر تحولی توجه پایدار در نمونهای از کودکان ایرانی است.
مواد و روش ها
در یک بررسی مقطعی مقایسهای با استفاده از روش نمونهگیری در دسترس توجه پایدار220 کودک 7 الی 11 سال (79 دختر و 151 پسر) با میانگین سنی 09/9 و انحراف استاندارد46/1 با استفاده از آزمون عملکرد مداوم مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. از آزمون تحلیل واریانس یک راهه و آزمون تعقیبی توکی برای تحلیل استفاده گردید.
یافته ها
نتایج نشان داد که کودکان 7 تا 11 ساله در تعداد خطای حذف و زمان واکنش با هم تفاوت دارند و این تفاوت در سطح 0001/0 p <  معنی­دار است. اما در مورد خطای ارتکاب تفاوتی مشاهده نشد.
نتیجه گیری
با توجه به نتایج هرچه سن افزایش پیدا می­کرد خطای حذف و مدت زمان واکنش کاهش می­یافت. در واقع با افزایش سن توجه پایدار افزایش می­یابد.

چکیده [English]

Background and Aim: Attention plays an important role in an individual performance. The purpose of present study was to evaluate the development of sustain attention in a sample of Iranian children.
Materials and Methods: In the present cross sectional study, 220 7-10 years old elementary school students (aged 9.09±1.46 years) participated. Continuous Performance Test (CPT) performed for evaluation. One way ANOVA and post hoc tuckey tests were used for analysis.
Results: Findings showed that children age between 7 to 11 years were different in number of omission error and reaction time (p< 0.0001). There was no difference in commission error.
Conclusion: According to the results, we can conducted that as age increases omission error and reaction time decrease. Actually sustain attention increases with increasing age.
