Brief Summary

Attention functions have a major impact on children's social and school behavior. They are an important issue for prematurely born children often seen as having learning difficulties and being restless, when it could be an adaptative answer to attention disorders. The aim of this study is to evaluate attention capacity in former premature children aged 6-7 years old with regards to different postures or mobility, for the attention functions of orienting, alerting and executive control. The Attention Network Test using reaction time and accuracy to visual stimuli will be used to evaluate attention functions in each posture and mobility.

Conditions

Attention Concentration Difficulty; Mobility Limitation

Keywords

Prematurely born children; Attention function; Posture; Mobility

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Reaction time to respond to visual stimuli appearance

  48 trials of swimming fishes displayed for a maximum of 2500 msec in different conditions: the reaction time in msec will be recorded and evaluated

  5 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Accuracy to the response to visual stimuli direction

  5 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Prematurely born children

EXPERIMENTAL

Speed and accuracy answer to visual stimuli evaluated in 3 distinct posture/mobility situations

Other: speed and accuracy answer to visual stimuli

Term born children

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Speed and accuracy answer to visual stimuli evaluated in 3 distinct posture/mobility situations

Other: speed and accuracy answer to visual stimuli

Interventions

speed and accuracy answer to visual stimuli OTHER

A yellow fish swimming over a blue-green background will appear on the screen of virtual glasses. The child will have to give as fast as possible the direction of the fish pushing the left or right button of a computer mouse

Prematurely born children; Term born children
