| Research Abstract |
Learning Disorder and Pervasive Developmental Disorders in very low birth infants are higher than the patients in term infants. It was known that the backgrounds of these disorders have the dysfunction of visual cortex. In this study, we investigate the visual function of infants aged three months used Tobii eye-tracker system. This system is capable of tracking eyeball movements of infants and we can easily measure looking times for facial stimuli. Looking times for facial stimuli in preterm infants are slightly short than the times in term infants, but the looking time for the upper part of faces was significantly longer than that for the lower part both in term infants and preterm infants.
