In addition, in those studies it was suggested that pre-term infants were significantly slower with processing and memory skills than full-term infants. The study that was done in this paper was to prove whether infants of pre-term and full-term pregnancies had any effect on their processing speed and memory abilities. Several aspects of attention were also tested. In this particular study, the pre-terms were compared to the full-terms on many levels.
