This study examined the relationship between birth risk factors and sensory capacity in 1245 young adults (mean age = 19.9 years). Nine birth risk factors were included (long labour, breech birth, breathing difficulty, instrument delivery, Caesarian delivery, multiple birth, premature birth, low birth weight, and high-risk birth order) and six sensory capacities were tested (Snellen visual acuity, stereopsis, color discrimination, pure-tone hearing, speech recognition, and sound localization…

Increased susceptibility to stress at a psychological assessment of stress tolerance is associated with impaired fetal growth.
TLDR
Young males at conscript testing show a better general psychological functioning score derived from psychological assessment, including evaluation of stress susceptibility, with increasing birthweight up to 4200 g, but above that birthweight an inverse association is noticed.

Self-Reported Magic Eye™ Stereogram Skill Predicts Stereoacuity
TLDR
It is found that self-reported MES skill is highly predictive of stereoacuity as measured by a standard clinical test, and those who report poor MES skills have a five-fold increased risk of stereo impairment.

TLDR
Regression analyses showed that environmental factors accounted for more variation in cognitive development than did perinatal factors, and in support of a transactional model, preterm children exhibited a self-righting tendency during their early childhood so that eventually environmental influences overshadowed biological influences.
Extremely-low-birthweight infants: neurological, psychological, growth and health status beyond five years of age.
TLDR
Of 60 consecutive survivors of birth weight 500-999 g, who were born in one tertiary perinatal centre from 1977 to 1980, 59 infants were assessed by a multidisciplinary team at two years of age and 58 children were evaluated when aged at least five years.

New assessment of the effects of birth order and socioeconomic status on birth weight.
TLDR
A survey of the 20 698 singleton births occurring in one year to women resident in the Greater Dublin area provided information on birth weight, birth order, and social class, indicating that a major part of the birth-order effect was attributable to social class.

TLDR
The most frequent neurodevelopmental abnormalities encountered among preterm children without major disability were motor problems—emerging as gross and fine motor and/or visual‐motor difficulties—and visual‐spatial problems.

A LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP STUDY OF SMALL PREMATURE INFANTS.
TLDR
One hundred children, prematurely born, with birth or minimum weights of 1,000 gm or less, of 183 discharged alive from the Premature Nursery of The New York Hospital from 1940 through 1957, were examined and an apparent advantage of white over nonwhite children was interpreted as secondary to socioeconomic level.

TLDR
The predominant type of defect described appears to vary with the experience of the authors, and a lowering of the intelligence quotient and a high incidence of ophthalmologic defects, but very few physical defects except delay in attaining normal stature are described.
