Context of maternal intrusiveness during infancy and associations with preschool executive function

The relation between maternal behavior and neurocognitive development is complex and may depend on the task context. We examined 5‐month‐old infant frontal electroencephalogram (EEG), maternal intrusiveness (MI) evaluated during two play contexts at 5 and 10 months, and a battery of executive function (EF) tasks completed at 48 months to evaluate if MI during infancy and infant neural function interacted to predict later cognition.
