And the information of its qualitative observation was seen to be of value to guess what some factors of motor problem of children with VLBW were; attention, visual perception, or so. The coefficient of correlation between birth weight and Total I-Score of VLBW group was significant, but the one between gestational age and Total I-Score was not
