研究显示 给孩子大声朗读能提升他们的注意力

Reading aloud to kids may help them focus better, says a new study published in the journal Pediatrics.

发表在《小儿科》杂志上的一项新研究表明，给孩子大声朗读可以帮助他们更好地集中注意力。

"They are better able to sit still. Better able to get along with friends or peers and teachers," lead researcher Dr. Alan Mendelsohn of NYU Langone Medical Center told CBS.

该研究的负责人、纽约大学朗格尼医学中心的艾伦·门德尔松博士向哥伦比亚广播公司透露: “他们能更好的静坐。能更好地和朋友、同学、老师相处。”

Mendelsohn's team studied how pediatric programs that promote positive parenting activities, such as reading out loud and playing pretend, affect children's social and emotional development.

门德尔松的团队研究了促进积极育儿活动的儿童项目，比如大声朗读和玩过家家，是如何影响儿童的社会和情感发展的。

Researchers performed a randomized test after some children participated in their Video Interaction Project from birth through age 3.

研究人员对一些从出生到三岁就一直参与他们视频互动项目的孩子进行了随机测试。

At every visit, the families in the program were filmed reading or playing with their children.

每次拜访，该项目的家庭成员与孩子阅读或玩耍的情景都会被拍摄下来。

The film was then reviewed with a coach who helped parents learn more about their own powerful role in their child's development.

一名指导老师会点评视频，帮助家长了解了自己在孩子成长过程中扮演的重要角色。

Results showed that participating children had fewer attention problems and demonstrated fewer disruptive behaviors (such as hyperactivity and aggression) by the time they started school.

结果显示，参与实验的儿童在开始上学前注意力问题较少，并且表现出更少的破坏性行为（如多动性和攻击性）。
