28 preterm infants tested at 40 wks conceptional age showed significantly longer periods of attention to 2-dimensional stimuli than did 28 full-term infants of the same conceptional age (Exp I). To determine whether attentiveness of the full-term infants was diminished by transient birth effects, visual attentiveness was measured in a group of 15 full-term infants in the 1st 2 days of life and 2 wks later (Exp II). There was no significant increase in attention over this period. Furthermore, data from 62 additional preterm infants showed that fixation times were not significantly related to length of postnatal experience (Exp III). The only attention measure relating to birth condition was a measure of initial responsiveness. Healthier infants showed slightly longer first fixations on the first exposure of the stimulus. Initial responsiveness to visual stimuli may represent infant attentiveness more accurately than sustained attention to unchanging 2-dimensional stimuli.(17 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
