Studies how early birth affects learning new words
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how being born early (between 32 and 36 weeks) or at full term affects a baby’s vocabulary learning. It also compares babies who have typical newborn health checks to better understand what might influence language development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born early (32–36 weeks) or at about full term (around 40 weeks)
- Your baby’s growth measurements (weight, length, head size) match expected ranges for their due date
- A newborn exam is normal at the time the study starts
- At least one parent speaks and understands fluent French
- You (the parents) can give written consent, and you both live in Marseille
- Your baby is enrolled in France’s social security system

This study looks at whether the IBAIP program can improve neurodevelopment (how the brain grows and works) in babies born very early. Babies are included only if they have a normal early neurological exam after being “corrected for prematurity.”
This study tests whether a responsive parenting program helps toddlers born early think, learn, and manage behavior more easily. It also checks whether families can complete toddler brain and behavior assessments (including brain scans).
This study looks at how very small premature babies (born early and weighing less than 4.4 pounds at discharge) do after they go home. It helps doctors understand what support families need.
This study tests a new device that plays special sounds to help preterm babies learn to tell different speech sounds apart. It is for babies born between 32 and 35 weeks of pregnancy to see if the device can improve their hearing and brain development.
This study follows the early communication skills of very premature babies. It looks at how they learn to match sounds with faces, which helps with speech development.
This study compares two early treatments for premature babies (born 30–34 weeks) and full-term babies to see how they affect development over time. It may help your baby get more personalized care.
