Cognitive Functioning in 8- to 18-Month-Old Drug-Exposed Infants.
Alessandri, Steven M.; Bendersky, Margaret; Lewis, Michael
Developmental Psychology, v34 n3 p565-73 May 1998
Compared cognitive functioning of infants--at 8 and 18 months--with varying levels of prenatal cocaine exposure. Found that, with risk and polydrug exposure controlled, exposure groups did not differ at 8 months on Bayley Scales or recovery to a novel stimulus. Infants with heavy exposure or high environmental risk declined in mental development from 8 to 18 months. (Author)
