Table 1. Multiple regression coefficients for effects of birth weight and gestational age on executive functions of boys at age 6.
Task | Measures | Birth Weight | Gestational Age | ||
β | p | β | p | ||
IED | Stage 1 Errors | −.21 | .004 | .003 | .97 |
Pre-EDS errors | −.02 | .84 | −.04 | .58 | |
EDS errors | −.15 | .04 | .03 | .68 | |
Stages completeda | .08 | .25 | −.07 | .33 | |
SST | Mean reaction time | −.08 | .26 | −.21 | .004 |
Reaction time standard deviation | −.13 | .06 | −.22 | .002 | |
Stop-signal reaction time | −.09 | .22 | −.11 | .13 | |
DMS | Total correct (12 seconds) | .20 | .01 | .07 | .32 |
SWM | Between search errors (6 boxes) | .09 | .21 | −.01 | .89 |
Strategy | .01 | .87 | −.08 | .28 |
Note. IED = intra/extra-dimensional shift task; EDS = extra-dimensional shift; SST = stop-signal task; DMS = delayed-matching-to-sample task; SWM = spatial working memory task.
Logistic regression used instead of multiple linear regression.
