Much is known about the effects of postnatal factors on human childhood development; however, less is known about how prenatal experience shapes development. Nonetheless, studies have shown that aspects of prenatal experience can have an effect on child development and much later into adulthood. The current study looked at how prenatal exposure to maternal cortisol affects a child's ability to perform on a cognitive task (the Flanker task) and on temperament as assessed with the Children's Behavioral Questionnaire (CBQ). Participants were recruited from women who had participated in a larger study at three different time points during their pregnancy (when cortisol levels were assessed) and who were willing to now return with their children. The participants were recruited after the child turned 5 years old; the sample included 29 mother-child pairs. Maximum number correct in a row on the Flanker task was used as the cognitive performance indicator. Children who got fewer correct in a row on the Flanker task had mothers who had higher prenatal cortisol, compared with children who scored more correct in a row on the Flanker task who had mothers with lower prenatal cortisol. The results from the CBQ indicated, as prenatal maternal cortisol levels rise earlier in pregnancy, maternal report of Fear goes up and as prenatal maternal cortisol levels rise later in pregnancy, maternal report of the children's Low Intensity Pleasure goes down. The significance and possible mechanisms of these findings are discussed.
