Why are infants tested? Name a few scales used for testing infants.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. It is no easy matter to test an infant. The items must be administered on a one-to-one basis by a patient tester, and it can be difficult to judge whether the infant is showing the targeted response. One reason for testing infants is to screen infants for handicaps. A tester may be able to detect early signs of sensory or neurological problems, as suggested by development of visual-motor coordination. In addition to the Bayley scales, a number of tests have been developed to screen infants for such difficulties, including the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale and the Denver Developmental Screening Test.
