The Predictive Validity of Infant Assessments in Rural Guatemala.
Lasky, Robert E.; And Others
Child Development, v52 n3 p847-56 Sep 1981
The behavioral development of rural Guatemalan infants was assessed shortly after birth on a Neonatal Assessment Scale (NAS) and at 6-, 15-, and 24-months-of-age on a Composite Infant Scale (CIS). Summary variables based on NAS performance poorly predicted later assessed performance even as recently as six months after birth. The CIS modestly correlated with later performance. (Author/RH)
