The present study aimed at the standardization of the motor scales (A-locomotor and D-eye-hand co-ordination) of the Griffiths Test II on Greek preschool-aged children.
Nine hundred and thirty children living in Northern Greece were assessed (455 boys and 475 girls), aged from 37 to 72 months (3-6 years old).
Percentile ranks were determined depending on the developmental quotient and the chronological age of the child. Through the present application of the Griffiths Test to the children in our country, we showed that the average developmental quotients of the two scales were higher than the relevant published quotients of the Griffiths Test II.
Some of the factors that may have contributed to faster motor development are passage of time and the environmental and cultural differences between countries. The findings reinforce the need for standardization of a test before it is applied to the population of a country, and its re-standardization on the population of the country where it was first applied.
本研究旨在对希腊学龄前儿童的格里菲斯发育量表II(A-运动能力和D-眼手协调能力)进行标准化。
对居住在希腊北部的930名儿童(455名男孩和475名女孩)进行了评估,年龄在37至72个月(3至6岁)之间。
百分位等级根据儿童的发育商和实际年龄确定。通过在我国对儿童应用格里菲斯发育量表,我们发现这两个量表的平均发育商高于格里菲斯发育量表II已发表的相关商数。
可能导致运动发育更快的一些因素包括时间推移以及国家之间的环境和文化差异。这些发现强化了在将一项测试应用于一个国家的人群之前对其进行标准化的必要性,以及在首次应用该测试的国家对其人群进行重新标准化的必要性。
