Abstract
The use of chronological or/and corrected age administering
BSITD-III in preterm children was investigated in a sample of
preterm infants and full-term infants. BSITD-III was
administered at 12 months corrected age. The performance
scores for the three BSITD-III subscales were calculated
according to the child’ chronological age and considering the
BSITD-III request for correction referring to the 40th week or
the 37th week of gestation. Results indicate that corrected age
should be used with the cognitive subscale only, not with the
Motor nor with the Language ones.
