Abstract
In utero alcohol exposure can disrupt the development of the fetal brain and result
in a wide-range of neurobehavioral outcomes collectively known as fetal alcohol spectrum
disorders (FASD). This paper provides a comprehensive review of the cognitive and
behavioral outcomes of prenatal alcohol exposure, including domains of general intelligence,
executive functioning, language development, learning and memory, adaptive functioning,
academic performance, and concurrent psychopathology. In addition, the current status
of the neurobehavioral profile of FASD and its potential as a diagnostic tool will
be discussed.
