What methodologies within the behavioral sciences have clinical
application for the diagnosis and management of high risk and
handicapped infants? Originally published in 1979, this volume not
only deals with this issue, but illustrates the contributions that
behavioral science may have offered those called upon to evaluate
the cognitive consequences of perinatal high risk factors at the
time. The inadequacies of some measures used to assess intellectual
competence in retardates are juxtaposed with the sophisticated
methodologies that may be employed to document early mental
abilities. Also included are assessment procedures that bypass
reliance on neuromotor performance, imitation, or language
production. The authors draw attention to the discontinuous nature
of cognitive development, to the possibility that mental and motor
development may proceed independently, and to the plasticity of the
developing CNS, which may overcome early deficits if underlying
competences are recognized and exposed to appropriate stimulation.
Here is a volume that does not simply catalog the nature of the
child’s accomplishments and deficits, but emphasizes the need to
examine his potential for learning, and offers various
methodologies that may be of value in documenting the child’s
continuing cognitive development. This book is a re-issue
originally published in 1979. The language used is a reflection of
its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by
this re-publication.
