Investigation of the Relationship Between Development, Neurological Assessment and Object Permanence in High Risk Infants.

Investigation of the Relationship Between Development, Neurological Assessment and Object Permanence in High Risk Infants.

The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between development, neurological assessment and object permanence in risky infants aged 7-16 months. The sample of the study will consist of babies between 7-16 months at risk (preterm, low birth weight, asphyxia, hyperbillirubinemia, etc.). Inclusion criteria for the study: Between 7-16 months, having at least one risk factor. Exclusion criteria: Medical complications (eg, severe visual impairment) limiting participation in assessments; autism, down syndrome, or spinal cord injury; diagnosed uncontrolled seizure disorder; or a neurodegenerative disorder. Parents who agreed to participate in the study will be asked to fill out the demographic information questionnaire. Object permanence scale, Bayley III infant and toddler development scale and Hammersmith infant neurologic assessment will be applied to infants.
