Abstract
Children [1319] who received 3 neurological examinations during their 1st yr of life were administered measures of cognitive development and academic achievement up to and including 12 yr of age. With both social class and birthweight statistically controlled, children identified as neurologically suspect or abnormal or more than 1 of the infant examinations (22) consistently performed far below control children on measures of intelligence, motor skills, language development and school achievement. Children who were neurologically suspect or abnormal on only 1 infant examination (165) performed significantly less well than those never suspected of neurological abnormality in infancy (1132).Keywords
