Low Birth Weight (LBW) Infants' Exploratory Behavior at 12 and 24 Months: Effects of Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Mothers' Attention Directing Behaviors.

Landry, Susan H.; And Others

Research in Developmental Disabilities, v14 n3 p237-49 May-Jun 1993

This study of infants with low birthweight and significant or mild intraventricular hemorrhage showed that the association of mothers' interactive behaviors with infants' exploratory play responses was dependent on both the age and medical risk status of the child. The timing of mothers' attention-directing strategies and the level of structure they provided were important variables. (JDD)
