Developmental Lags in Preterm Infants from One to Three Years of Age.

Ungerer, Judy A.; Sigman, Marian

Child Development, v54 n5 p1217-28 Oct 1983

Assessments of play, sensorimotor, language, and general developmental skills were administered to two preterm and 20 full-term infants. Preterm infants showed some delays greater than would be predicted from biological maturity alone, but delays were not present for all skills and generally were not maintained beyond 2 years of age.
