The impact of gestational age on executive function in infancy and early-to-middle childhood following preterm birth: a systematic review

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify and describe the three core components of executive function (inhibition, working memory, and shifting) and explain how each component was operationalized and measured across studies examining preterm-born children from infancy through early-to-middle childhood.

2. Discuss at least four methodological limitations that hinder definitive conclusions about the relationship between gestational age and executive function in preterm-born populations, including issues related to gestational age measurement and reporting, sample characteristics and confounding variables, study design limitations, and executive function assessment approaches.
