A Comparison of Preterm and Full-Term Infants on Auditory Discrimination at Four Months and on Bayley Scales of Infant Development at Eighteen Months.
O'Connor, Mary J.
Child Development, v51 n1 p81-88 Mar 1980
When equated on level of maturity, preterm infants were indistinguishable from full-term infants in their rates of response decrement to stimulus repetition and their subsequent response to a novel stimulus. Responsiveness to auditory novelty at four months was a strong predictor of 18-month mental performance for females but not for males. (RH)
