Measuring Activity Level with Actometers: Reliability, Validity, and Arm Length.
Eaton, Warren O.
Child Development, v54 n3 p720-26 Jun 1983
The gross-motor activity of 27 three- and four- year-olds was assessed through teacher ratings, parent responses to the activity scale of the Colorado Childhood Temperament Inventory, and data from uncalibrated actometers worn by children during free play. Activity scores composited across multiple actometers had high reliability and correlated strongly with the other two measures. (Author/MP)
