“…The predictive value of early gestures and a receptive lexicon has been the subject of few studies and only up to the age 2;0/2;6 years in preterm children thus far (Perez-Pereira et al, 2014;Sansavini et al, 2011;Stolt, Mäkilä et al, 2014). Receptive and expressive lexical skills at 1;0, and receptive and expressive lexical skills and the development of gestures at 1;6, were all significant predictors for expressive lexical competence at 2;0 in a recent Italian study (Sansavini et al, 2011;104 very preterm children, 20 full-term controls).…”

“…Foster-Cohen, Edgin, Champion, & Woodward, 2007;Sansavini et al, 2011;Stolt et al, 2009a), although there are also opposite findings (e.g. Perez-Pereira et al, 2014;Stolt et al, 2007). In addition, receptive and expressive language ability at 2;0 has been reported to be lower at the group level in preterm children than in the control children (Stolt et al, 2009a;see Foster-Cohen et al, 2007 as well).…”

“…Furthermore, the early receptive lexicon has also been reported to develop more slowly in preterm children than in controls (Ortiz-Mantilla et al, 2008;Sansavini et al, 2011;Stolt et al, 2009a), although there are also studies which do not find a significant difference between groups of preterm and full-term children in this development (e.g. Perez-Pereira, Fernandez, Gomez-Taibo, & Resches, 2014). The divergent findings in different studies may be explained by the sample characteristics (e.g.…”

After reading this article, readers will understand the associations between the very early (≤2 years of age) development of gestures and language (i.e. early receptive lexicon, expressive lexicon at 2;0, receptive and expressive language ability at 2;0) and the language skills at 5;0 in prematurely born very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) children. In addition, readers will understand the heterogeneity of the group of VLBW children. The information presented in this article is informative for those who work in a clinical context and who want to be able to identify those VLBW children who need support for their language development at an early age.

“…1, 2 Delays in language have been reported before age 2 years, 3–8 though group differences are not found universally at these ages. 9–11 Performance on early language assessments is associated with language evaluations 1–3 years later. 12–14 Language delays can be highly detrimental to children’s development because language plays a critical role in learning and reading.…”

Objective To assess language skills in preterm and full term children using a standardized language test and eye-tracking methods. Study design Children born ≤32 weeks gestation (n = 44) were matched on sex and socioeconomic status to full term children (n = 44) and studied longitudinally. The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development- Third Edition (BSID-III) were administered at 18-months (corrected for prematurity as applicable). The Looking-While-Listening (LWL) task simultaneously presents two pictures and an auditory stimulus directing the child’s attention to one image. The pattern of eye movements reflects visual processing and the efficiency of language comprehension. PT children were evaluated on LWL three times between 18 and 24 months. FT children were evaluated at ages corresponding to chronological and corrected ages of their PT match. Results were compared between groups for the BSID-III and two LWL measures: accuracy (proportion of time looking at target) and reaction time (latency to shift gaze from distracter to target). Results PT children had lower BSID-III scores than FT children. PT children had poorer performance than FT children on LWL measures for chronological age but similar performance for corrected age. Accuracy and reaction time at 18 months corrected age displaced PT-FT group membership as significant predictors of BSID-III scores. Conclusions Performance and rate of change on language comprehension measures were similar in PT and FT compared at corrected age. Individual variation in language comprehension efficiency was a robust predictor of scores on a standardized language assessment in both groups.

“…To date, studies have analyzed the predictive validity of early language and gestural abilities for later language and intellectual abilities in various groups of children, including late talkers (Rescorla, 2003), preterm infants (Luu et al, 2009;Perez-Pereira, Fernandez, Gomez-Taibo, & Resches, 2014;Stolt et al, 2014) …”
