Abstract

Prematurity can alter the regulation of physiological, emotional, and behavioral processes, leading to changes in the development of executive functions. The study aimed to characterize the executive function of children born preterm in the preschool phase. The sample included 23 children born preterm aged five to six years. Executive function was assessed using the Five-Digit Test (FDT), Trail Test for Preschoolers (TTP), and the Digits and Sequences of Letters and Numbers of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV). The results showed that the children scored average in executive function assessments, working memory, and cognitive flexibility (FDT). However, it was found that 74% of the children had difficulties in cognitive flexibility (TTP) at five and six years and 50% in inhibitory control at six years. Follow-up programs for preterm children should promote the development of executive function, which is associated with future school performance.
