1 Longitudinal Study of Executive Function and Low Birth Weight Patricia M Blasco, Sybille Guy, Serra Acar The Research Institute at Western Oregon University Sage N Saxton Oregon Health & Science University Division for Early Childhood 33 rd Annual International Conference Portland, OR October 4 6, 2017

2 Expected Outcomes Participants will a) identify and recognize executive function (EF) and its importance in early learning Understand components of EF and how they can be measured in young children Discuss implications for practice/implementation of practice within early intervention.

3 Executive Function Refers to a group of neurocognitive processes in the brain that direct, connect, and organize information that is manifested in planned behavior.

4 She s the CEO of her brain

5

6 Neurocognitive Processes Self Regulation Inhibition Working Memory Cognitive Flexibility Goal Setting Planning and Organization

7 Self-Regulation Self-regulation functions are developing from the first years of life on throughout a person s entire lifetime.

8 Inhibit Ability to control behavior and impulses Redirect Activity Stop, Think & Action Challenging Behavior

9 Working Memory Ability to hold and process stored information! A not B tasks

10 Cognitive Flexibility Ability to shift between two different concepts or attributes and requests

11 Dimensional Change Card Sort- Separated Task Rule: Sort by Color Rule: Sort by Shape

12 Goal Setting Process that results in goal-directed behavior Mastery Motivation goal persistence

13 Planning and Organization Anticipate additional steps to maintain a task or order an event Toddler Engages in multischeme play (first, I feed the baby, then burp the baby, then put the baby to bed) First Grade Place the folder with my pencil in the backpack, take out my pencil, put the teacher s note to mom and dad in my folder to go home.

14 What about Children born LBW and Preterm? Major medical conditions, such as cerebral palsy and other severe disabilities, are well known outcomes of low birth weight (LBW)(< 2500 grams) and preterm birth (< 37 weeks).

15 Research on LBW and Preterm Retrospective research has shown that, although a large portion of this population did not have major disabilities, some may have lasting cognitive impairments, particularly in executive functions (EF). (Anderson & Boyle, 2004; Vohr, Wright, Poole, & McDonald, 2005)

16 Research on LBW and Preterm Very LBW & Preterm children ( <1500g, <33 weeks gestation) scored lower on tasks of executive functioning than full-term peers. Outcomes include poor cognitive function, learning difficulties, and behavior problems. (Aarnoudse- Moens et. al., 2009)

17 Research on LBW and Preterm One researcher reported: At school age among very preterm children, key processing skills and working memory seem to underpin problems both generally and in math (Marlow, p. F442, 2014). Recent research also demonstrated that late preterm (34 to 36 weeks gestation) children had learning difficulties in the early school years (Chan & Quigley, 2014).

18 Project EF Current research funded by U. S. Department of Health and Human Services

19 Purpose of the Current Study The purpose of Project EF: Executive Function in Infants and Toddlers Born Low Birth Weight (LBW) and Preterm is to examine whether traditional assessment methods that have components of EF in their structure can discern early indicators of executive function. a) children born LBW and preterm at low risk (>1500 grams), b) children born LBW and preterm at high risk ( 1500 grams), c) children born full term.

20 Project EF Research Questions 1. Are there differences in performance on cognitive, problem-solving, mastery motivation, self-regulation and social behavior between children who are LBW/ preterm low risk, LBW/preterm high risk, and full-term? 2. Are there early indicators of EF that can be extrapolated from infant/toddler assessments?

21 Measures Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire (DMQ 18) (Morgan, et. al. 2015) Bayley Scales of Infant & Toddler Development III (Bayley, 2005) Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach & Rescorla (2001)

22 Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire (DMQ 18) (Morgan et al., 2015) A parent-completed questionnaire that is designed to assess their children s mastery motivation and mastery pleasure related behaviors. Mastery Motivation is the intrinsic drive to explore and master one s environment through goal-directed behavior with challenging tasks.

23

24 Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development III (BSID) (Bayley, 2005) Designed to measure physical, motor, sensory, and cognitive development in infants and toddlers from birth to age 42 months. Consist of one form that provides: Cognitive Composite and Scaled Score Language Composite Receptive and Expressive Scaled Scores Motor Composite Fine and Gross Motor Scaled Scores

25 Figure. A copy of BSID materials.

27 Child Behavior Checklist Measures children's emotional, behavioral, and social development. The preschool checklist (CBCL/1½-5) is intended for use with children aged 18 months to 5 years.

30 Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool Version (BRIEF-P) Ø Likert Scale Questionnaire that can be used by parents and/or teachers Ø Three broad indexes Ø Inhibitory Self-Control (Inhibit and Emotional Control) Ø Flexibility (Shift and Emotional Control) Ø Emergent Metacognition (Plan/Organize and Working Memory)

31 EF touch Ø Computerized-battery of EF tasks for children ages 3 to 6 Ø The tasks we are using are presented as fun activities that measure working memory and inhibitory control

32 Age ASSESSMENTS 6 to 8 months corrected age 18 to 20 months corrected age 36 months BSID III, DMQ 18 BSID III, DMQ 18, CBC BSID III, DMQ 18, CBC, EF assessment

33 Current Data Analysis

34 Sample Demographics Gender Full Term (N = 41) LBW (N = 100) Male Female Race/Ethnicity American Indian/Alaska Native Asian Black/African American Hispanic/Latino White, non-hispanic Other *percentages

35 Sample Demographics Mother s Education Full Term (N = 41) LBW (N = 100) Less than college Some college College grad Father s Education Less than college Some college College grad

36 LBW Sample Demographics Mean Ranges Corrected Age (months) Gestational Age (weeks) Birth Weight (grams) ,466

37 DMQ Scales Average Scores Full term and LBW children did not differ significantly on six DMQ scales with one exception: Parents of children who were full term rated the child significantly higher on: General Competence (t(134) = 4.19, p =.000) than parents of children with LBW. Object Oriented Persistence Social Persistence with Adults Social Persistence with Children Gross Motor Persistence Full Term (N = 41) LBW (N = 100) Mastery Pleasure Negative Reaction to Failure General Competence

38 Bayley III Scales Average Scores Children who were born full term scored significantly higher on: Expressive Scaled(t(139) = 2.42, p =.017) compared to children in the LBW group. However, this was not significant after adjusting for multiple comparisons. Full Term (N = 41) LBW (N = 100) Cognitive Scaled Cognitive Composite Receptive Scaled Expressive Scaled* Language Composite Fine Motor Scaled Gross Motor Scaled Motor Composite

39 BSID III Item components of EF Cognitive Scale Emotional Control, Attention, Working Memory, Shift, Plan/Organize Language (both Receptive and Expressive) Emotional Control, Attention, Working Memory, RC Inhibit, EX Plan/Organize Fine Motor Plan/Organize Working Memory Gross Motor Plan/Organize Attention

40 Bayley III and EF Scales Average Scores Concern for item density at 6 months on the Bayley III. Correcting for age often inflates scores for children who are LBW in their standard scores. Full Term (N = 41) LBW (N = 100) Attention* Working Memory Inhibit Plan/Organize* Shift - - Emotional Control Full Term children score statistically significantly higher on two scales: Attention (t(139) = 4.94, p =.000) Plan/Organize (t(139) = 3.08, p =. 003)

41 Data from 18 months

42 DMQ Scales Average Scores 18 months Full term and LBW children differed significantly on one DMQ scale after adjustment for multiple comparisons. Master Pleasure(t(68) = 3.04, p =.003) higher for full term children compared to children in the LBW group Object Oriented Persistence Social Persistence with Adults* Social Persistence with Children* Gross Motor Persistence Full Term (N = 25) LBW (N = 47) Mastery Pleasure* Negative Reaction to Frustration Negative Reaction to Sadness General Competence*

43 Bayley III Scales Average Scores 18 months Children in the full term group scored statistically significantly higher on five scales: Receptive Scaled (t(70) = 3.67, p=.000) Expressive Scaled (t(70) = 3.72, p=.000) Language Composite(t(70) = 4.06, p=.000) Gross Motor Scaled (t(70) = 2.98, p=.004) Motor Composite(t(70) = 3.01, p =.004). Full Term (N = 25) LBW (N = 47) Cognitive Scaled Cognitive Composite Receptive Scaled** Expressive Scaled** Language Composite** Fine Motor Scaled Gross Motor Scaled** Motor Composite**

44 Bayley III and EF Components Average Scores 18 Months Given a still relatively small sample size, the trend is toward higher means for Full Term group. Full Term (N = 25) LBW (N = 47) Attention Working Memory Inhibit Plan/Organize Shift Emotional Control* Full Term children score statistically significantly higher on one scale: Emotional Control (t(70) = 2.71, p =.008)

45 Average Difference Scores on the BSID III Between 6 and 18 Months FT, N = 25 LBW, N = Multivariate analysis found significant difference in Language composite scores, expressive and receptive scaled scores. Children who were full-term, showed a significantly larger, positive average difference score compared to children born with LBW. Average scores decreased for those in the LBW group. FT LBW Expressive Scaled Receptive Scaled Language Composite 8.72

46 How do we advocate for infants and toddlers who are LBW and their families to ensure their needs are met early? What do you see as the benefits of measuring EF skills?

47 The End! Thank You
