Corrected age is the age of an infant if he/she had been born full-term. To calculate corrected age, the number of weeks born premature is subtracted from the chronological age of the child. 
In this case, the infant was born 8 weeks premature (40 weeks full-term - 32 weeks premature = 8 weeks). 
So the corrected age would be: 
Chronological age (9 months) - number of weeks premature (8 weeks) = 7 months
