  • Psychometry and Psychotechnology
CONT

Millions of infants ... have been tested and evaluated by [Dr. T. Berry Brazelton's] Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale, generally known ... as the Brazelton. It is a folksy sort of test, carried out with such implements as a pocket flashlight, an orange rubber ball, a paper clip, some popcorn kernels. The exam starts when the baby is asleep, and it gauges the infant's reactions to a series of stimuli, including light in the eyes, the sound of rattling, a scratch on the foot: 20 reflexes and 26 behavioral responses in all.
