Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infant intelligence tests measure different abilities than later intelligence tests. Infant tests may capture skills related to motor development, but may not predict later cognitive abilities such as problem solving or academic achievement. Additionally, there is a lot of variability in infant development and it is difficult to accurately predict future behavior based on early assessments.
