Examined attention skills, as measured by the Continuous Performance Test (CPT), in a group of 64 children born premature and 40 full-term children, ages 6 to 8 years. Premature were classified neonatal cerebral lesions into no lesion, mild severe lesion groups. It was predicted that severity would be associated with CPT performance. While mean differences among groups prematures did not reach significance, made significantly more errors omission commission than comparison group. Children...
Children differ widely in their early language development, and this variability has important implications for later life outcomes. Parent input is a strong experiential factor predicting the children’s skills. However, little known about brain or cognitive mechanisms that underlie relationship. In addressing gap, we used longitudinal data spanning 15 years to examine role of parental children receive during preschool development structures support processing school years. Using...
