  • Title: Cognitive-perceptual abilities of a neurologically impaired infant: an alternative assessment strategy.
    Author: Byrne JM.
    Journal: Dev Med Child Neurol; 1984 Jun; 26(3):391-5. PubMed ID: 6734956.
    Abstract:
    A 26-month-old boy with quadriplegia, untestable using traditional developmental tests, was assessed using a visual-discrimination paradigm (i.e. habituation-dishabituation). The results were interpreted as evidence that this infant could visually attend to, and discriminate between photographic slides varying in shape and/or colour. It is suggested that this paradigm may eventually be used as an alternative clinical testing protocol for assessing the perceptual-cognitive abilities of CNS-damage infants.
