Visual Attention at Three Months as a Predictor of Cognitive Functioning at Two Years of Age.

Lewis, Michael; Brooks-Gunn, Jeanne

Intelligence, v5 n2 p131-40 Apr-Jun 1981

The predictive power of various cognitive skills at three months of age in terms of later cognitive functioning was examined. Visual habituation and recovery predicted later intellectual functioning at 24 months better than global intelligence or object permanence scores. Changes in cognitive functioning may be a transformation of skills. (Author/RD)
