Examined achievement, behavior, and neuropsychological outcomes at early school age in a regional population of children < 750-g birth weight who were neurologically intact and who scored in the broad average range on a test of cognitive ability. Comparison groups included children of birth weight 750-1,499 g and children born at full-term. The children < 750 g performed more poorly than the higher birth weight groups on tests of math, even after adjusting for group differences in cognitive ability. Corresponding group differences were found in language, perceptual motor, and attentional skills, but not in behavior outcomes. Findings document specific weaknesses in achievement and neuropsychological skills in children < 750 g birth weight and support the need for early identification and special education interventions.
对出生体重<750克、神经功能正常且在认知能力测试中得分处于宽泛平均范围内的地区儿童群体，在学龄早期的学业成绩、行为及神经心理结果进行了研究。对照组包括出生体重750 - 1499克的儿童和足月出生的儿童。即使在对认知能力的组间差异进行调整后，出生体重<750克的儿童在数学测试中的表现仍比出生体重较高的组差。在语言、感知运动和注意力技能方面也发现了相应的组间差异，但在行为结果方面未发现差异。研究结果证明了出生体重<750克儿童在学业成绩和神经心理技能方面存在特定弱点，并支持早期识别和特殊教育干预的必要性。
