SIGMAN, MARIAN, and PARMELEE, ARTHun H. Visual Preferences of Four-Month-Old Premature and Full-Term Infants. CHaD DEVELOPMENT, 1974, 45, 959-965. The visual preferences of 20 full-term, 4-month-old infants were compared with those of 20 premature infants whose age at testing was 4 months corrected for the amount of prematurity. Both groups demonstrated a preference for complex stimuli, and no differences in the strength of preferences were found. The male prematures and full-term infants differed in total attention to face-like stimuli. Preference for novel stimuli following a habituation procedure was shown by the full-term infants but not by the premature infants. In summary, cognitive development, as indexed by visual preferences, varied between full-term and premature infants of the same conceptional age.
