摘要
In this paper, we used a modified version of Iowa Gambling Task to investigate the ability and the development of affective decision-making in preschool children (3-4 years old). Significant age differences were found for the performance while the sex differences were not significant. Another awareness tests were conducted to assess children's knowledge about the task and investigate the correction of task performance and awareness test. Significant age differences were found for the awareness of the task, which means 4-year-olds understood the task better than 3-year-olds. The results indicate that affective decision-making develops rapidly during the preschool period.
