Abstract
⸠Prematurity contributed to the variance in measures of language and reading, even after controlling for IQ. ⸠The degree of prematurity was a significant predictor of linguistic processing speed, verbal memory, and reading comprehension. ⸠The degree of prematurity was not a significant predictor of receptive vocabulary, syntactic comprehension, or decoding. ⸠Prematurity had a direct effect on those language and reading abilities that require processing efficiency (fluid functions) as opposed to accumulated verbal-semantic knowledge (crystallized functions).
