Brief Summary:
Difference in autonomic nervous system processes across cultural and ethnic groups was suggested and autonomic regulation differentiation may occur even at an early age However the role of ethnicity and environment on regulation of response towards sensory stimulation in children is not well understood yet This research aims to compare the autonomic activity at resting condition and toward a block of auditory stimulation between typically developing children from different countries and living environments There will be two phases in this study In Phase I two groups of participants will be recruited a 32 typically-developing Chinese children living in Hong Kong HK group and b 32 typically developing Filipino children living in Hong Kong Fil-HK group In phase II two groups of participants will be recruited a 32 typically-developing Filipino children who are living at Urban area PH-U group and b 32 typically developing Filipino children who are living at Philippines-Rural area PH-R group Participants will be composed of males and females ages 7-12 years old and without known history of developmental disabilities medical history of cardiac or pulmonary problem medical history of diabetes or having any sensory deficits Recruited participants will watch a silent movie and listen to a block of sound Autonomic activity heart rate variability and electrodermal activity will be measured and recorded using Polar H2 heart rate monitor and eSense skin response Recordings will be screened for ectopic beats of HRV or bursts of EDA The HRV and EDA signals will be processed by using aHRV and the eSense propriety software respectively and according to the standards of editing HRV and EDA artefacts Autonomic activity LF HF and EDA at resting condition and hypothesis interaction between conditions resting condition vs auditory stimulation and groups HK group and PH-U group Fil-HK group and PH-U group PH-U group vs PH-R group will be tested with repeated measures of MANOVA All significant levels will be set at p 005 This study will increase the understanding on the role of culture and environment in the regulation of behaviour in auditory processing The findings of this research may further shed light on the evaluation and treatment planning for children across and within cultures
Detailed Description:
Background Difference in autonomic nervous system ANS processes across cultural and ethnic groups was suggested and autonomic regulation differentiation may occur even at an early age However the role of ethnicity and environment on regulation of response towards sensory stimulation in children is not well understood yet This research aims to compare the autonomic activity at resting condition and toward a block of auditory stimulation between typically developing children from different countries and living environments and examine the role of environments and ethnicity on autonomic regulation
Methods Four groups of typically-developing participants will be recruited in this study 1 Chinese children living in Hong Kong n32 Filipino children living in Hong Kong 32 Filipino children living in urban-Philippines n32 Filipino children living in urban-Philippines n32 Participants will be males nm16 and females nf16 ages 7-12 years old and without known history of developmental disabilities medical history of cardiac or pulmonary problem medical history of diabetes or having any sensory deficits Recruited participants will watch a silent movie and listen to a block of sound stimulus presentations Autonomic activity heart rate variability and electrodermal activity will be measured and recorded using Polar H2 heart rate monitor and eSense GSR Recordings will be screened for ectopic beats of HRV or bursts of EDA The HRV and EDA signals will be processed by using aHRV and Ledalab software respectively and according to the standards of editing and analysing HRV and EDA artefacts Autonomic activity LF HF and EDA at experimental condition groups HK group and PH-U group Fil-HK group and PH-U group PH-U group vs PH-R group will be tested with repeated measures of MANOVA All significant levels will be set at a critical α 05
Discussion This study will increase the understanding on the role of culture and environment in the regulation of behaviour in auditory processing The findings of this research may further shed light on the evaluation and treatment planning for children across and within cultures
