The independent impacts of severe intraventricular hemorrhage, other common medical complications of prematurity, and socioeconomic status on the development in the second year of life of 32 low birth weight subjects were explored. Outcome measures included standard tests of mental and motor development, an evaluation of language competence, and an assessment of information processing ability in a habituation/recovery paradigm. Partial correlations indicated that intraventricular hemorrhage influences cognitive and motor development independently of the other predictor variables. Socioeconomic status predicted language ability and recovery of attention to a novel stimulus independent of the other predictors. Medical complications other than intraventricular hemorrhage also made an independent contribution to the variance in language outcome. Implications of these findings are discussed.
探讨了重度脑室内出血、早产其他常见医学并发症以及社会经济地位对32名低出生体重儿出生后第二年发育的独立影响。结果测量包括智力和运动发育的标准测试、语言能力评估以及在习惯化/恢复范式下的信息处理能力评估。偏相关分析表明，脑室内出血独立于其他预测变量影响认知和运动发育。社会经济地位独立于其他预测因素预测语言能力和对新刺激的注意力恢复。除脑室内出血外的医学并发症也对语言结果的方差有独立贡献。讨论了这些发现的意义。
