Visual Search, Perception, and Visual-Motor Skill in "Healthy" Children Born at 27-32 Weeks' Gestation.

Foreman, Nigel; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v64 n1 p27-41 Jan 1997

Tested visual-perceptual, attentional, and visual-motor skills of 16 school-age children who had been born pre-term and "healthy," and 16 who had been born full-term. Found that compared to subjects born full-term, pre-term subjects performed well on most visual perception tasks, but less well on visual search and visual-motor tasks. (EAJ)
