Visual configural processing in adults born at extremely low birth weight

Being born at extremely low birth weight (ELBW; ≤1,000 g) is associated with enduring visual impairments. We tested for long‐term, higher order visual processing problems in the oldest known prospectively followed cohort of ELBW survivors. Configural processing (spacing among features of an object) was examined in 62 adults born at ELBW ( M age = 31.9 years) and 82 adults born at normal birth weight (NBW; ≥2,500 g: M age = 32.5 years). Pairs of...
