- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Early visual attention was expressed in:<br /><br>- duration of holding attention (fixation of gaze);<br /><br>- the time it takes to shift attention from a central stimulus to a peripheral<br /><br>stimulus and visa versa.<br /><br><br /><br>The main endpoints of this study are derived from:<br /><br>- validated neuropsychological tests and parental questionnaires, to be<br /><br>expressed in percentiles and z-scores;<br /><br>- experimental tasks, to be expressed in average response times and number of<br /><br>correct answers. Because of lacking of standardized data, experimental test<br /><br>results of term born children will be compared with that of preterm children. </p><br>
