“…Maternal intelligence was measured at the same time when child IQ data were collected, when the mother accompanied the 6‐year‐old child to the research center, with the set I of the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices Test (Raven, ). This test has been shown to be a valid and reliable short form of the Raven's Progressive Matrices test to assess nonverbal cognition (Chiesi, Ciancaleoni, Galli, & Primi, ; Pearson, ) and the nonverbal aspect of the test minimizes the impact of the language abilities in the Non‐Dutch mothers in our study.…”

The evidence for negative influences of maternal stress during pregnancy on child cognition remains inconclusive. This study tested the association between maternal prenatal stress and child intelligence in 4,251 mother–child dyads from a multiethnic population‐based cohort in the Netherlands. A latent factor of prenatal stress was constructed, and child IQ was tested at age 6 years. In Dutch and Caribbean participants, prenatal stress was not associated with child IQ after adjustment for maternal IQ and socioeconomic status. In other ethnicities no association was found; only in the Moroccan/Turkish group a small negative association between prenatal stress and child IQ was observed. These results suggest that prenatal stress does not predict child IQ, except in children from less acculturated minority groups.

“…In each case, the lower right corner of the matrix is missing and the participant's task is to determine which of eight possible options fits into the missing space such that the row and column transformations are satisfied. Using IRT analysis procedures, the short form of the SPM was found to have high reliability and validity (Chiesi, Ciancaleoni, Galli, & Primi, ).…”

The cognitive reflection test (CRT) is a short measure of a person's ability to resist intuitive response tendencies and to produce a normatively correct response, which is based on effortful reasoning. Although the CRT is a very popular measure, its psychometric properties have not been extensively investigated. A major limitation of the CRT is the difficulty of the items, which can lead to floor effects in populations other than highly educated adults. The present study aimed at investigating the psychometric properties of the CRT applying item response theory analyses (a two‐parameter logistic model) and at developing a new version of the scale (the CRT‐long), which is appropriate for participants with both lower and higher levels of cognitive reflection. The results demonstrated the good psychometric properties of the original, as well as the new scale. The validity of the new scale was also assessed by measuring correlations with various indicators of intelligence, numeracy, reasoning and decision‐making skills, and thinking dispositions. Moreover, we present evidence for the suitability of the new scale to be used with developmental samples. Finally, by comparing the performance of adolescents and young adults on the CRT and CRT‐long, we report the first investigation into the development of cognitive reflection.

“…Maternal cognitive ability was assessed during the visit to the research centre at child's age 5 to 7 years, with a computerized version of the Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) Test, set I . Set I consists of 12 items and has been shown to be a reliable and valid short form of the Raven's Progressive Matrices to asses nonverbal intelligence . Maternal psychiatric symptoms were assessed at 20 weeks of pregnancy and when the child was 3 years old using the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), a validated self‐report questionnaire .…”

Purpose Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used during pregnancy. Findings that prenatal NSAID exposure may affect offspring neurodevelopment have been inconsistent. We investigated the effect of prenatal NSAID exposure on childhood neurodevelopment and explored the susceptibility of our effect estimates to forms of bias via negative exposure, negative outcome, and multi‐informant analyses. Methods In a cohort of pregnant women (n = 6876), perinatal NSAID use was assessed by prescriptions and self‐report. Primary neurodevelopmental outcomes included attention problems using maternal reports at 1½, 3, and 5 years. To explore potential systematic biases, we compared estimates from maternally reported attention problems to a teacher's report and a measure of nonverbal intelligence assessed at a clinic visit at age 6 years; we also used NSAID use before pregnancy and somatic problems as a “negative” exposure and outcome, respectively. Results Maternal reports suggested that prenatal exposure to NSAIDs was associated with more attention problems at younger ages (eg, at age 3: mean difference in attention problems score: 0.30; 95% CI 0.12, 0.48). However, no strong association with attention problems was found in the teacher report, and a similarly strong association between prenatal NSAID exposure and somatic complaints suggests residual confounding by indication likely remains. Moreover, prenatal exposure to NSAIDs was not associated with an observed measure of IQ (mean difference in IQ score: −0.32; 95% CI: −1.82, 1.19). Conclusions Jointly, our results suggest that the observed associations between prenatal exposure to NSAIDs and child attention problems reflect systematic biases of a null or small effect.
