’s behavior, WM impairment
In children born very preterm with WM impairment, a cognitive training program showed no medium-term or long-term effect on visuospatial skills. Activation of the WM was transient with no lasting retention and did not lead to any significant transfer near (other EFs, other cognitive functions) or far (concerning the child’s behavior, quality of life, or learning).This large study is, to our knowledge, the first multicenter computerized WM cognitive training study involving children aged 5 to 6 years born very preterm with a long-term effect evaluation. Among the few studies using the same cognitive training program in children born prematurely, the population size, conditions of the control group, waiting list or active group,Similarly, it should be noted that quality of adherence (progression index) is difficult to achieve. In our study, as in the IMPRINT study,Long-term outcome assessments were comprehensively extended to cognitively trained WM and nontrained functions, such as visuospatial skills. We consider the VSI as sound according to different criteria: (1) children born very preterm are particularly at risk of developing local or global processing difficulties mediated by the inhibition visual disordersFor preschool-aged children born very preterm whose entire neurological development is affected (cognitive, behavioral, and social components),
