Abstract

Objective: To describe associations between executive function (EF) domains (attentional control, information processing, cognitive flexibility, and goal setting) and concurrent math computation performance at age 7 and 13 years in children born <30 weeks' gestation or weighing <1,250 g, and second, to examine the impact of 7-year EF on math performance at 13 years.

Method: In a prospective, longitudinal cohort of children born <30 weeks' gestation or with a birthweight <1,250 g, assessment of EF and math performance was undertaken at 7 (n = 187) and 13 years (n = 174). Linear regression models were used to describe associations between EF domains with math performance at both time points, as well as to examine the impact of EF at 7 years on math performance at 13 years.

Results: At 7 and 13 years, all EF domains were positively and strongly associated with concurrent math performance (β = 11.35, 95% CI [9.28, 13.41] to β = 13.79, 95% CI [11.59, 15.98]). All EF domains at age 7 years were positively associated with math performance at 13 years, with the strongest associations observed for cognitive flexibility (β = 10.79 [8.64, 12.94]) and goal setting (β = 10.37 [8.08, 12.67]).

Conclusions: This study provides evidence that EF is strongly associated with math performance in children born <30 weeks' gestation or with a birthweight <1,250 g and highlights the importance of early cognitive flexibility and goal setting performance for future math performance.

执行功能与妊娠期小于 30 周或出生体重小于 1250 克的儿童的数学成绩发展有关。

目的描述出生儿童的执行功能（EF）领域（注意控制、信息处理、认知灵活性和目标设定）与 7 岁和 13 岁时同时进行的数学计算成绩之间的关系：对出生儿童进行前瞻性纵向队列研究结果在 7 岁和 13 岁时，所有 EF 领域均与同时数学计算成绩呈强正相关（β = 11.35，95% CI [9.28，13.41] 至 β = 13.79，95% CI [11.59，15.98]）。7 岁时的所有 EF 领域均与 13 岁时的数学成绩呈正相关，其中认知灵活性（β = 10.79 [8.64, 12.94]）和目标设定（β = 10.37 [8.08, 12.67]）的相关性最强：本研究提供的证据表明，EF 与出生儿童的数学成绩密切相关。
