Differential effects on cognitive functioning in 13- to 16-year-olds prenatally exposed to cigarettes and marihuana.
TL;DR: The strongest relationship between prenatal maternal cigarette smoking and cognitive variables was seen with overall intelligence and aspects of auditory functioning whereas prenatal exposure to marihuana was negatively associated with tasks that required visual memory, analysis, and integration.

A literature review of the consequences of prenatal marihuana exposure: An emerging theme of a deficiency in aspects of executive function
Peter A. Fried,Andra M. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: Global IQ is not impacted by prenatal marihuana exposure but aspects of executive function (EF)--in particular, attentional behavior and visual analysis/hypothesis testing--appear to be negatively associated with in utero cannabis exposure in children beyond the toddler stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurocognitive consequences of marihuana--a comparison with pre-drug performance.
TL;DR: It was concluded that residual marihuana effects are evident beyond the acute intoxication period in current heavy users after taking into account pre-drug performance but similar deficits are no longer apparent 3 months after cessation of regular use, even among former heavy using young adults.

A follow-up study of attentional behavior in 6-year-old children exposed prenatally to marihuana, cigarettes, and alcohol
TL;DR: Attentional behavior was examined in 72-month-old children for whom prenatal exposure to marihuana, cigarettes, and alcohol has previously been ascertained to reveal the differential associations with the three prenatally used drugs.
