Among executive functions (EFs), research has highlighted specific inhibition difficulties in preterm children. The present paper reviews and classifies the studies that assessed response inhibition and interference control abilities in preterm children and adolescents aged 3 to 16 years. Most behavioral studies agree on a developmental delay at early school age in inhibition abilities and a catch-up before adolescence, with lesser response inhibition difficulties at pre-adolescence. However, persisting interference control difficulties have been reported into early adulthood. These results are discussed, along with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) findings. Finally, this paper outlines methodological issues that need to be overcome in order to define the developmental trajectory of inhibition abilities in the preterm population.
在执行功能（EFs）方面，研究突出了早产儿存在的特定抑制困难。本文对评估3至16岁早产儿及青少年反应抑制和干扰控制能力的研究进行了综述和分类。大多数行为学研究一致认为，抑制能力在学龄早期存在发育延迟，在青春期前会出现追赶现象，青春期前反应抑制困难较少。然而，有报道称干扰控制困难会持续到成年早期。本文结合功能磁共振成像（fMRI）研究结果对这些结果进行了讨论。最后，本文概述了为确定早产儿群体抑制能力的发育轨迹而需要克服的方法学问题。
