Ah. Hoon et al., CLINICAL ADAPTIVE TEST CLINICAL LINGUISTIC AUDITORY MILESTONE SCALE IN EARLY COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT, The Journal of pediatrics, 123(1), 1993, pp. 1-8
Correlations between the Clinical Adaptive Test/Clinical Linguistic Au
ditory Milestone Scale (CAT/CLAMS) and the Bayley Scales of Infant Dev
elopment-Mental Scale (BSID) were examined in 61 infants and toddlers
with suspected developmental delay. Highly significant correlations we
re found between the two instruments. Gender, race, and gestational ag
e did not influence the relationship between CAT/CLAMS and BSID scores
. The CAT/CLAMS was both sensitive (88%) and specific (67%) for mental
retardation (BSID <70). The CAT/CLAMS correlates with the BSID and ca
n be used as an instrument for detecting cognitive delay.
