We present the results of a continuing study of the miliarcsecond structure of extremely high-redshift radio sources aimed at investigating possible cosmological evolutionary effects in quasars and their use in testing cosmological models. We present very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) maps of four quasars at redshifts z greater than or equal to 3: 0336-017 (z = 3.197), 0636+680 (z = 3.174), 1442+101 (z = 3.531), and 2048+312 (z = 3.185). All four sources are resolved. Two, 0636+680 and 1442+101, show well defined jets, while the other two are slightly extended and may contain jets. A means of estimating the cosmological deceleration parameter q0 using these and earlier data (Gurvits et al. 1992) is shown.
