ABSTRACT
Parents' ratings of everyday cognitive functioning in very low birth weight (VLBW) children free of sensorineural impairments and normal birth weight (NBW) children were compared with the children's actual performance on psychometric measures of cognitive and motor skills. Subjects included 19 VLBW children identified at age 3 years as "suspect" for developmental problems, 19 VLBW children identified at age 3 years as "developing normally," and 30 NBW full-term peers. Results indicated that parents of the suspect VLBW group rated their children as having significant impairments in memory, language, cognitive, and motor skills, findings which were consistent with the results of concurrent psychometric assessments. When compared with psychometric test results, parents identified more children as displaying difficulties in memory, language, and cognitive skills, but fewer children with coordination difficulties. These findings suggest that the parents' ratings and the psychometric measures may be assessing somewhat different aspects of the children's functioning.
