Background summary
In the Netherlands, every year around 2150 children are born very preterm (<30 weeks of gestation). These children will encounter bheavioral problems and problems at school when they grow up. Deficiencies in executive functions are thought to be one of the most important underlieing causes of these problems. Training executive functions is a promising new method to reduce the weak perfromance in school and the behavioral problems in this population. The BrainGame Brian training has recently been developed to train executive functions in children. The study objectives are to investigate whether the BrainGame Brian training leads to a significant decrease in attentional problems and whether these improvements generalize to school performance (maths and reading).
