Visual attention and processing function in relation to executive functioning in very preterm–born children aged 3 years: a prospective cohort study

The ability to orient attention to one’s environment is a prerequisite for developing executive functions (EF) from preschool age. Very preterm children are vulnerable for delays in visual orienting function (VOF) and EF deficits. This study aimed to investigate associations between objective VOF an...

Description
Summary:The ability to orient attention to one’s environment is a prerequisite for developing executive functions (EF) from preschool age. Very preterm children are vulnerable for delays in visual orienting function (VOF) and EF deficits. This study aimed to investigate associations between objective VOF and subjective parent-reported EF in very preterm–born children at 3 years corrected age (CA). In a prospective cohort study (BOND) involving 90 children born
