title: [Neuromotor and cognitive development of high-risk newborn infants at 5 years of age].
abstract: A group of 5-year-old children bearing a perinatal neurological risk is divided into subgroups according to the specific courses of their neuromotoric development. Then comparison is made between two of the subgroups consisting of children with a favourable neuromotoric development at the age of 5 and a control-group of healthy born children with regard to the neuromotoric as well as the cognitive development. As a result the children of the two subgroups, whose neuromotoric development in the age of five was comparable to that of the control group, showed a significantly lower performance on a concentration test than those of the control group. Additionally there is also a deficiency within the scope of verbal competence, whereas the level of the performance IQ of the children with perinatal neurological risk is quite comparable with that of the children of the control group.
