What if we told you that scores from a toddler could predict their IQ years later? Join us as we decode this intriguing hypothesis as we navigate the correlation between Bailey III composite scores at 18 to 22 months and the full scale IQ at six to seven years, particularly in children born extremely preterm. We examine how these early scores could be instrumental in predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes and their relevance for individual children.
