The relation between responsiveness to auditory novelty in full-term and preterm infants and subsequent intellectual performance at 5 yr of age was studied. At 4 mo., cardiac response to repetitive and novel auditory stimulation was assessed using a variable-trials habituation procedure. Children were followed until the age of 5 yr, and intellectual performance was measured using the Standford-Binet Intelligence Scale. A statistically significant correlation of 0.60 was found between infant novelty response scores and 5-yr intelligence scores. Mother''s education also related to 5-yr performance, although not significantly when the novelty response was partialed out. Apparently, measures of early perceptual-memory development may reflect early cognitive processes necessary for later intellectual performance.
