Research Abstract

D/D（Disorganized/Disoriented） infants exhibit lower score in NBAS range of state cluster than non D/D infants. Full-term D/D infants showed significantly higher scores in K-ABC Sequential and Mental Processing Scales, and Wisc- III Performance IQ than non D/D infants. Pre-mature non D/D children showed significantly higher score in K-ABC achievement scales (p<.05) than Ｄ/Ｄ children. EEG right frontal asymmetry of both Ｄ/Ｄ and non Ｄ/Ｄ groups of full-term/ pre-maturechildren did not show any significant differences in K-ABC nor Wisc-III scores.
