Neural sensitivity to social cues in preterm preschoolers: Reduced voice but not face processing

Key Points

• This research aims to explore how preterm preschoolers process social cues, focusing on neural sensitivity to voice and face signals.
• Examined neural responses to social cues in preterm preschoolers
• Compared voice processing with face processing
• Utilized neuroimaging techniques to measure responsiveness
• Identified reduced sensitivity to voice processing in preterm children
• No significant difference in face processing compared to full-term peers
• Indicates potential developmental delays in social cue interpretation for preterm preschoolers
