Text Correction
There was an error in the original publication (Winter et al. 2023) concerning the results presented in the abstract.
A correction has been made to the abstract:
Extremely premature children scored significantly lower than moderately premature children on four subtests (expressive communication, cognitive, fine motor, gross motor), and both preterm groups were significantly outscored by the full-term sample (across all subtests in extremely preterm and across four subtests in moderately preterm). In most of the group comparisons, the cognitive and motor subtests yielded larger differences than the expressive and receptive communication subtests. A follow-up MANOVA was conducted to examine full-term versus preterm discrepancies on the five subtests for infants (2–17 months) vs. toddlers (18–42 months). For that analysis, the two preterm groups were combined into a single preterm sample, and a significant interaction between the age level and group (full-term vs. preterm) was found. Premature infants scored lower than premature toddlers on the fine motor and cognitive subtests.
In addition, a change has been introduced to the Data Availability Statement; the section has been corrected to the following:
Restrictions apply to the availability of these data. Data were obtained from Pearson Assessments and are available via from https://www.pearsonassessments.com/forms/standardization-data-license-requests.html with the permission of Pearson Assessments.
