Introduction
visual inhibition disorders, cognitive impairment
Children born very preterm may have neurobehavioral problems that impact school, family, social adjustments, and their adult lives.The EFs are high-level cognitive operations fundamental in learning and social adjustments.Specific computerized cognitive training programs supporting EFs have primarily focused on working memory (WM) training with a cognitive training program (Cogmed) or a general approach to training all EFs (Brian; BrainGame).Finally, children born very preterm are at risk for global or local visual processing difficulties, which appear to be partly mediated by visual inhibition disorders.Our study assessed both the ability of a computerized cognitive training program for WM to improve long-term visuospatial abilities in children born very preterm and its effect on overall executive functions. If successful, this study could facilitate a preventative cognitive impairment strategy in children born very preterm.
