We report on a systematic review of studies of executive function and attention in preterm children. Using meta-analysis, we confirm this is an area of weakness for preterm children, and show that the extent of difficulties is influenced by gestational age (GA), age at test, and skill under investigation. Effect size for selective and sustained attention and inhibition is related to GA. For studies with mean GA > or = 26 weeks, selective attention skills catch up with age, phonemic fluency skills are increasingly delayed, and ongoing deviance is shown for shifting skills (when assessed with specific measures). Implications for research and practice are discussed.
我们报告了一项关于早产儿执行功能和注意力研究的系统综述。通过荟萃分析，我们证实这是早产儿的一个薄弱领域，并表明困难程度受胎龄（GA）、测试时的年龄以及所研究技能的影响。选择性和持续性注意力及抑制的效应大小与胎龄有关。对于平均胎龄≥26周的研究，选择性注意力技能会随着年龄增长而追赶上来，音素流畅性技能的延迟越来越明显，并且在转换技能方面存在持续的偏差（当用特定测量方法评估时）。文中还讨论了对研究和实践的启示。
