Each year in the U.S., more than one in 10 children are born preterm (PT). Approximately half of very preterm survivors, born at < 32 weeks’ gestation, develop language-based learning impairments that may be discovered late and put children at substantial risk for poor outcomes throughout their lives. Our previous grant (HD069150) convincingly demonstrated that language processing efficiency, assessed at 18 months in an eye- tracking paradigm, called looking-while-listening (LWL), was more predictive of long-term outcomes than standardized tests and parent reports. PT children who were faster at language processing at 18 months showed advantages in both verbal and non-verbal skills at 54…
