Level of intrauterine cocaine exposure and neuropsychological test scores in preadolescence: subtle effects on auditory attention and narrative memory

Abstract: Neuropsychological processes such as attention and memory contribute to children's higher-level cognitive and language functioning and predict academic achievement. The goal of this analysis was to evaluate whether level of intrauterine cocaine exposure (IUCE) alters multiple aspects of preadolescents' neuropsychological functioning assessed using a single age-referenced instrument, the NEPSY: A Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment (NEPSY) [71], after controlling for relevant covariates. Participants in… Show more

“…At most, follow‐up has been truncated at adolescence or even prior. There are consistent indications that prenatal drug exposure, for example, to marijuana, cocaine and opioids compromises school performance and cognitive skills from as early as 8–9 years of age and until high school. Oei et al .…”

“…Specifically, these children have differences in reaction times and inconsistent responses to attention tasks, relative to unexposed children (Accornero et al, ; Ackerman et al, ). Further cocaine exposure is associated with poor auditory attention skills and lower short term verbal memory scores (Beeghly et al, ). Of significant concern, children with a decreased ability to self‐regulate and who demonstrate increased aggression, have increased risk taking and delinquent behaviors during adolescence (Lambert and Bauer, ; Behnke and Smith, ).…”
