Habituation's Mechanisms in Preterm and Term Infants

Each year in France, 7 % of newborns are born preterm (before 37 weeks of gestational age (GA)). The investigators called very preterm infants those who were born before 33 weeks of GA. These very preterm infants have a higher risk of developing neurological complications like developmental disabilities or cerebral palsy. To date, early assessment of these infants is difficult and not reliable enough to detect those who are at risks of developing neurological issues. Now, the investigators need to identify earlier these infants to provide them interventions to improve their development (physical therapy for example). Consequently, the investigators are examining a study whose aim is to assess preterm infants habituation. Habituation is the newborn ability to become familiar with new environmental stimulations (noise, light…). This habituation allows the newborn to maintain his sleep even
