Visual Function in the Preterm and Fullterm Newborn Infant

Visual function in the preterm newborn infant has been studied by the visual orientation (tracking) technique of the Brazelton neurobehavioural assessment, and by the pattern preference and fixation techniques of Frantz. Both these methods demonstrated the presence of discriminative visual function by 31 to 32 weeks gestation, which by 34 weeks reaches a maturity comparable to the pattern found in fullterm infants.
