Determinants and Predictors of School Adaptation and Academic Achievement in Prematurely Born Children.
Kalmar, Magda; Varga, Magdolna Estefan
The study followed up 30 premature Hungarian infants of low birthweight (less than 2500 grams) but no other major perinatal complications. Subjects were tested at age 6 on the Budapest-Binet IQ test, the Goodenough's "Draw a Person" test, the Bender Gestalt test, and a school entry test battery. Test performances at age 6 found that the prematurely born children were at greater risk for school difficulties than full-term peers. Performances on tests involving visual motor integration appeared to be fairly good predictors of subsequent learning disability. (DB)
