摘要
低胎龄(GA)是早产后认知和发育问题的危险因素。然而,基于文献中相互矛盾的结论,其对执行功能(EF)的影响尚不清楚。此外,由于4岁以下儿童在很大程度上被先前的评论所忽视,GA对这一早期发育时期EF的影响尚不清楚。因此,本系统综述调查了GA对婴儿期和儿童早期至中期早产后EF的影响。PubMed、Web of Science和PsycInfo检索了研究GA对早产儿EF(抑制、工作记忆、移位)影响的文章(n = 10),发现EF和GA之间没有显著关联。然而,一些限制阻碍了对这种解释的强度得出结论。例子包括EF的理论基础和操作上的不一致,GA的报告和测量上的差异,招聘偏见,以及婴儿或纵向研究的缺乏。因此,这些问题可能导致了不一致或无效的结果,必须在未来的研究中加以解决,以更好地阐明GA对早产儿和儿童EF的影响。
[Formula: see text] The impact of gestational age on executive function in infancy and early-to-middle childhood following preterm birth: a systematic review.
Lower gestational age (GA) is a risk factor for cognitive and developmental concerns following preterm birth. However, its impact on executive function (EF) is unclear based on conflicting conclusions across the literature. Moreover, as children below 4 years have largely been neglected from previous reviews, the impact of GA on EF within this early developmental period remains unclear. Hence, this systematic review investigated the impact of GA on EF following preterm birth in infancy and early-to-middle childhood. PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycInfo were searched for articles investigating the impact of GA on EF (inhibition, working memory, shifting) in preterm-born (<37 week gestation) and term-born participants aged 0-10 years. Eighteen studies were included. Most of the studies (n = 10) found no significant association between EF and GA. However, several limitations hindered conclusions to be drawn about the strength of this interpretation. Examples include inconsistencies in the theoretical underpinnings and operationalisations of EF, discrepancies in the reporting and measurement of GA, recruitment biases, and a paucity of infant or longitudinal studies available. Consequently, these issues may have contributed to inconsistent or null findings, and they must be addressed in future research to better clarify the impact of GA on EF in preterm-born infants and children.
期刊介绍:
The purposes of Child Neuropsychology are to:
publish research on the neuropsychological effects of disorders which affect brain functioning in children and adolescents,
publish research on the neuropsychological dimensions of development in childhood and adolescence and
promote the integration of theory, method and research findings in child/developmental neuropsychology.
The primary emphasis of Child Neuropsychology is to publish original empirical research. Theoretical and methodological papers and theoretically relevant case studies are welcome. Critical reviews of topics pertinent to child/developmental neuropsychology are encouraged.
Emphases of interest include the following: information processing mechanisms; the impact of injury or disease on neuropsychological functioning; behavioral cognitive and pharmacological approaches to treatment/intervention; psychosocial correlates of neuropsychological dysfunction; definitive normative, reliability, and validity studies of psychometric and other procedures used in the neuropsychological assessment of children and adolescents. Articles on both normal and dysfunctional development that are relevant to the aforementioned dimensions are welcome. Multiple approaches (e.g., basic, applied, clinical) and multiple methodologies (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal, experimental, multivariate, correlational) are appropriate. Books, media, and software reviews will be published.
