The Vineland Social Maturity Scale and its revision, the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-Survey Form, were evaluated with infants referred for suspected developmental delay. Since the latter is being used more often by psychologists in evaluation and placement of children in the age group of birth to two years, comparative studies must ensure appropriate placement of children observed to have developmental delays. The present study indicated significantly higher over-all adaptive functioning on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-Survey Form for 33 black and 11 white infants of mean age 12 mo. than on the original Vineland scales. Substituting the Survey Form for the original Vineland scales when evaluating developmentally delayed infants is questionable. These results are also noteworthy in that children whose Vineland Social Maturity scaled scores make them eligible for special services would be excluded if the revised form were used in the evaluation process.
对接受疑似发育迟缓评估的婴儿使用了《维兰德社会成熟量表》及其修订版《维兰德适应行为量表-调查表》。由于心理学家在评估和安置出生至两岁年龄段儿童时更常使用后者，比较研究必须确保对观察到有发育迟缓的儿童进行适当安置。本研究表明，33名平均年龄为12个月的黑人婴儿和11名白人婴儿在《维兰德适应行为量表-调查表》上的总体适应功能显著高于原始维兰德量表。在评估发育迟缓婴儿时用调查表替代原始维兰德量表是有问题的。这些结果也值得注意，因为如果在评估过程中使用修订版，那些维兰德社会成熟量表得分使其有资格获得特殊服务的儿童将被排除在外。
