Factors that influence school achievement in very-low-birth-weight (< 1,500 g) children were investigated at the completion of first grade. The subjects were 71 children and their primary caregivers. Thirty-nine children were very low birth weight (VLBW) and 32 were normal birth weight (NBW). After controlling for birth weight status, over one third of the variance in children's school achievement was accounted for by the age of the child's mother when she began childbearing. Birth weight status accounted for significant amounts of variance in information processing skills. Significantly more children in the VLBW group required special services and fewer were promoted to second grade, although the difference was not significant.
在一年级结束时，对极低出生体重（<1500克）儿童学业成绩的影响因素进行了调查。研究对象为71名儿童及其主要照料者。其中39名儿童为极低出生体重（VLBW），32名儿童为正常出生体重（NBW）。在控制出生体重状况后，儿童学业成绩超过三分之一的方差可由其母亲开始生育时的年龄来解释。出生体重状况在信息处理技能方面占显著比例的方差。VLBW组中需要特殊服务的儿童明显更多，升入二年级的儿童更少，尽管差异不显著。
