Interplay of Biological and Social-Environmental Factors in the Developmental Outcome of Prematurely Born Children from Infancy to Seven Years.
Kalmar, Magda; Boronkai, Judit
International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, v38 n3 p247-70 1991
The development of 58 preterm low-risk infants was compared over their first 7 years with 100 full-term infants. The study found "catch up" phenomena at certain ages and periods of reversal. Results also indicated that advantaged family circumstances may reduce or compensate for preterm birth whereas a disadvantaged environment may amplify adverse effects. (Author/JDD)
