The team examined 26 expectant mothers and randomly divided them into two groups. About half of the women received 480 mg/day of choline, which is slightly more than the adequate intake level and the other half received 930 mg/day. They further tested the information processing speed and visuospatial memory of babies at 4, 7, 10 and 13 months of age to measure IQ in childhood. They examined as to how long each baby took to look at an image on the periphery of a computer screen, a measure of the time it takes for a cue to produce a motor response.
