Article Synopsis
- Children born very premature or with very low birth weight (VP/VLBW) often show deficits in executive functioning, particularly in inhibitory control (IC), which is also seen in children with ADHD.
- A study was conducted on 79 VP/VLBW preschoolers to determine if having ADHD worsened their inhibitory control deficits by using various assessments to measure ADHD symptoms and IC performance.
- Results indicated no significant differences in inhibitory control between ADHD and non-ADHD groups, suggesting that ADHD does not further impair the already compromised executive functioning in these children.
