Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bayley infant development scales provide a measure of a child's current development but cannot predict future intellectual ability with accuracy. There are many factors that can influence a child's intellectual development that cannot be assessed by a single test. Therefore, it is not appropriate for Julie and Joel to assume their daughter's future intellectual ability based on this assessment alone. Option B is incorrect because the Bayley Infant Development Scales do not predict IQ scores. Option C and D are also incorrect because there is no evidence to suggest that children will perform better or worse as they grow older solely based on their Bayley score.
