Abstract
The authors investigated the construct validity of scores on the Behav ior Rating Scale of the revised Bayley Scales of Infant Development (B SID-II). They employed national standardization samples of children ra nging in age from roughly 1 to 42 months, and a variety of factor anal ytic methods. As might be expected, motor performance dominated the fa ctor space, and structure became more complex at older ages as childre n became more heterogeneous.
