Question

richardson et al. (2013) found that first trimester cocaine exposure has been associated with less sociability, more withdrawn behavioral problems, more anxious/depressed behaviors and symptoms in the children. these behaviors may be precursors of later psychiatric problems. by caregiver reports, higher cocaine use was associated with disruptive behaviors including aggression and delinquent behavior at 9 years of age (mclaughlin et al., 2011). moreover, caregiver reports indicate overall issues of executive function in 13 - year - old children with higher amounts of prenatal exposure; in particular, females had greater problems with initiation activities, working memory, and organization (minnes et al., 2014). carmody et al. (2011) further documented cocaine exposure affected the attention and inhibitory control of males but not females in children at. which inferences can be made from the passage? check all that apply. prenatal cocaine exposure can lead to more anxiety in childhood. prenatal cocaine exposure can lead to aggressive behavior, even many years later. prenatal cocaine exposure can lead to problems with memory or attention. prenatal cocaine exposure can lead to problems, but they usually go away after one or two years.

Explanation:

The passage mentions that first - trimester cocaine exposure is associated with less sociability, more withdrawn, anxious/depressed behaviors in children which may be precursors of later psychiatric problems. Higher cocaine use is linked to disruptive behaviors like aggression at 9 years. Prenatal cocaine exposure is also associated with executive function issues in 13 - year - olds and attention and inhibitory control problems in children. There is no mention of problems going away after one or two years.

Answer:

Prenatal cocaine exposure can lead to more anxiety in childhood.
Prenatal cocaine exposure can lead to aggressive behavior, even many years later.
Prenatal cocaine exposure can lead to problems with memory or attention.
