Biological Nonoptimality and Quality of Postnatal Environment as Codeterminants of Intellectual Development.
Breitmayer, Bonnie J.; Ramey, Craig T.
Child Development, v57 n5 p1151-65 Oct 1986

It was hypothesized that nonoptimal perinatal conditions might result in deficits that increase a child's vulnerability to environmental risk factors. Study results supported the hypothesis. (HOD)
