At 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months corrected age, we performed the
Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 2nd Edition (BSID II) (19-21).

The
Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 1st edition (Bayley-I) and 2nd edition (Bayley-II), are well-known standardised tools with adequate psychometric properties and have been widely used for research and clinical purposes.
The researchers looked at test results from twins who had taken a version of the
Bayley Scales of Infant Development at about 10 months and again at about 2 years of age.
Lactational exposure to either of the two chemicals was not associated with changes in scores on the
Bayley Scales of Infant Development at 6 and 12 months of age (Gladen et al., 1988).
To assess the neurodevelopment of infants with and without DP at an average age of six months, US researchers screened 235 case subjects and 237 demographically similar control participants for cognitive and motor development using the
Bayley Scales of Infant Development III (BSID-III).
Cognitive testing consisted of the
Bayley Scales of Infant Development and the Differential Ability Scales.
The first test was the
Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID; Bayley, 1969) for ages 2-30 months.
Developmental evaluation of the infant or child was assessed with the
Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID), Second Edition, (33) a measure for children between the ages of 2 months and 42 months, that describes a child's mental (Mental Developmental Index [MDI]) and psychomotor (Psychomotor Developmental Index [PDI]) functioning and also includes a behavior rating scale.
Cognitive Assessment: General cognitive skills were assessed by administering the
Bayley Scales of Infant Development (Bayley, 1993) at sessions 1 and 3.
The study on adaptive skills and developmental outcomes was based on three measuring tools: International Adoption Questionnaires given to parents; the
Bayley Scales of Infant Development, which yielded a Mental Developmental Index (MDI) score and a Psychomotor Developmental Index (PDI) score; and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, which measures personal and social skills used for everyday living.
Data were collected from children and their families in five rural Paraguayan barrios on the
Bayley Scales of Infant Development (2nd edition), the Home Observation for the Measurement of the Environment (HOME), and an author-developed measure of family resources, which included questions on breast-feeding practices, waste disposal levels of parental education, parental occupation and presence in the home, language spoken, possession of farm animals, and number of family members living in the home.
