Twenty-eight very low birthweight children (less than or equal to 1500 grams; the VLBW-group) and 24 term born children were studied from birth to 2 years of age. Over this period the interaction of these children with their mothers was observed in 6 naturalistic situations, and other aspects of their development were measured. The VLBW-group consisted of a relatively homogeneous group of healthy preterms, who had no sign of handicap at birth. It emerged that these VLBW-children were more liable to develop various types of problem, although such problems were on the whole not very serious in nature. Interesting differences were observed in mother-infant interaction, particularly in relation to the expression of negative emotions between mother and child. These differences were mainly interpreted in terms of their function in the mutual adaptation of mother and child.
对28名极低出生体重儿（小于或等于1500克；极低出生体重组）和24名足月儿从出生到2岁进行了研究。在此期间，在6种自然情境下观察了这些儿童与母亲的互动，并对他们发育的其他方面进行了测量。极低出生体重组由一组相对同质的健康早产儿组成，他们出生时没有残疾迹象。结果发现，这些极低出生体重儿更容易出现各种问题，尽管总体而言这些问题性质不太严重。在母婴互动中观察到了有趣的差异，特别是在母婴之间负面情绪的表达方面。这些差异主要从它们在母婴相互适应中的作用来解释。
