Cracking under pressure: Cognitive load influences performance in youth with NF1
Children with NF1 experience unique and multidimensional decrements in EF performance in response to increased cognitive load, unlike typically developing peers. These deficits appear to be clinically relevant. Targeting working memory and inhibitory control may reduce susceptibility to cognitive overload and improve outcomes for children with NF1.
