BOARDMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.470-480 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social cognition  development  eye gaze  prematurity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Preterm birth is associated with atypical social cognition in infancy, and cognitive impairment and social difficulties in childhood. Little is known about the stability of social cognition through childhood, and its relationship with neurodevelopment. We used eye-tracking in preterm and term-born infants to investigate social attentional preference in infancy and at 5 years, its relationship with neurodevelopment and the influence of socioeconomic deprivation. METHODS: A cohort of 81 preterm and 66 term infants with mean (range) gestational age at birth 28(+5) (23(+2) -33(+0) ) and 40(+0) (37(+0) -42(+1) ) respectively, completed eye-tracking at 7-9 months, with a subset re-assessed at 5 years. Three free-viewing social tasks of increasing stimulus complexity were presented, and a social preference score was derived from looking time to socially informative areas. Socioeconomic data and the Mullen Scales of Early Learning at 5 years were collected. RESULTS: Preterm children had lower social preference scores at 7-9 months compared with term-born controls. Term-born children's scores were stable between time points, whereas preterm children showed a significant increase, reaching equivalent scores by 5 years. Low gestational age and socioeconomic deprivation were associated with reduced social preference scores at 7-9 months. At 5 years, preterm infants had lower Early Learning Composite scores than controls, but this was not associated with social attentional preference in infancy or at 5 years. CONCLUSIONS: Preterm children have reduced social attentional preference at 7-9 months compared with term-born controls, but catch up by 5 years. Infant social cognition is influenced by socioeconomic deprivation and gestational age. Social cognition and neurodevelopment have different trajectories following preterm birth.

Preterm birth is associated with atypical social orienting in infancy detected using eye tracking / Emma J. TELFORD in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 57-7 (July 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 57-7 (July 2016) . - p.861-868 Titre : Preterm birth is associated with atypical social orienting in infancy detected using eye tracking Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emma J. TELFORD, Auteur ; Sue FLETCHER-WATSON, Auteur ; Karri GILLESPIE-SMITH, Auteur ; Rozalia PATAKY, Auteur ; Sarah SPARROW, Auteur ; Ian C. MURRAY, Auteur ; Anne O'HARE, Auteur ; James P. BOARDMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.861-868 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social orienting  development  preterm infant  eye tracking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Preterm birth is closely associated with neurocognitive impairment in childhood including increased risk for social difficulties. Eye tracking objectively assesses eye-gaze behaviour in response to visual stimuli, which permits inference about underlying cognitive processes. We tested the hypothesis that social orienting in infancy is altered by preterm birth. Methods Fifty preterm infants with mean (range) gestational age (GA) at birth of 29+1 (23+2–33+0) weeks and 50 term infants with mean (range) GA at birth 40+2 (37+0–42+3) weeks underwent eye tracking at median age of 7 months. Infants were presented with three categories of social stimuli of increasing complexity. Time to first fixate (TFF) and looking time (LT) on areas of interest (AoIs) were recorded using remote eye tracking. Results Preterm infants consistently fixated for a shorter time on social content than term infants across all three tasks: face-scanning (fixation to eyes minus mouth 0.61s vs. 1.47s, p = .013); face pop-out task (fixation to face 0.8s vs. 1.34s, p = .023); and social preferential looking (1.16s vs. 1.5s p = .02). Time given to AoIs containing social content as a proportion of LT at the whole stimulus was lower in preterm infants across all three tasks. These results were not explained by differences in overall looking time between the groups. Conclusions Eye tracking provides early evidence of atypical cognition after preterm birth, and may be a useful tool for stratifying infants at risk of impairment for early interventions designed to improve outcome.
