The profile of executive function in very preterm children at 4 to 12 years.

Very preterm birth is associated with a profile of affected and non-affected executive functions independent of impaired speed.

Deficits are of small to moderate magnitude and persist over time, except for response inhibition for which very preterm children catch up with peers.
