Predictive validation of Ugandan infant eye-tracking test for memory of human faces

Abstract

We provide initial evidence that an eye-tracking based measure of infant attention and working memory (gaze preference for novel human faces) can predict aspects of neurocognitive performance years later among Ugandan children. 49 HIV-exposed/uninfected Ugandan children (22 boys, 27 girls) 6-12 months old were tested with the Mullen Scales of Early Learning and a modified Fagan Test of Infant Intelligence (FTII). Modified FTII measures pertaining to attention are correlated to the KABC-II Mental Processing Index (MPI) (rp = -0.40), p Cognitive assessments adapted to eye-tracking instrumentation can be useful to evaluate attention and working memory in HIV-affected children living in low- and middle-income countries.
