Implication

Prospective multicenter analysis reveals cognitive load reduces executive function in youth with NF1, suggesting targeted interventions may improve performance.

Key Points

Children with neurofibromatosis type 1 showed significant performance decrements under cognitive load, unlike controls.
Executive function deficits were measured through neuropsychological assessments comparing NF1 youth with peers.
Multivariate and univariate analyses indicated distinct group differences in task performance related to cognitive demands.
Targeting working memory and inhibitory control could mitigate cognitive overload effects in children with NF1.
