This study compares the neurobehavioral status of 118 low‐birthweight infants tested at 40 weeks conceptional age with that of 76 normal fullterm infants. A neonatal neurobehavioral examination comprising 21 test and four summary items was used. The most striking differences between the groups were found in visual and auditory orienting, with approximately two‐thirds of the low‐birthweight infants falling below the range of performance of the fullterm group. Items testing motor performance showed a lower incidence of deviant performance among the low‐birthweight infants. Of the 21 test items, 19 could be assigned cut‐off scores, below which infants can be considered deviant on the specific items.
