Prospective analysis reveals cognitive load reduces performance in children with neurofibromatosis type 1, highlighting executive function deficits.

Children with neurofibromatosis type 1 show decreased performance under cognitive load, particularly in executive function.
Significant reductions in accuracy were observed related to working memory and inhibitory control tasks.
Multivariate analyses indicated distinct performance deficits compared to typically developing peers under increased cognitive load.
Targeting executive function may improve clinical outcomes for children with neurofibromatosis type 1 exposed to cognitive overload.

Johanna Nielsen (2025) studied this question.
