OBJECTIVE: To conduct a meta-analysis to characterize differences in language ability
between children born very preterm (VPT,< 32 weeks' gestational age), with a very low birth …

Inhibitory control is thought to demonstrate heterotypic continuity, in other words, continuity

Context Infants who are very preterm (born≤ 32 weeks of gestation) and very low birth
weight (VLBW)(weighing≤ 1500 g) are at risk for poor developmental outcomes. There is …

Multiple studies have reported that individuals with low birth weights (LBW,< 2500 g) have a
lower intelligence quotient (IQ) than those with normal birth weights (NBW,≥ 2500 g). Based …

Predicting language performances after preterm birth is challenging. It is described in the
literature that early exposure to the extrauterine environment can be either detrimental or …
