Psychometric researches increase in Brazil. Bayley Infant Neurodevelopment Screener - BINS (Aylward, 1995) is a low cost, fast instrument. In 10' it classifies children under developmental risk degrees. This research purpose was investigating BINS psychometric properties. 61 low-income Brazilian preterm, were divided in groups: 31 children (12 months) and 30 children (24 months), both sex, birth weight < 2000 g. Socio-demographic-psychological profile was previously registered. Neurologists examined them through Amiel-Tison and Gosselin (2001) and physicians with Denver-DDST-II (Frankenburg, Dodds, Archer, & Bresnick, 1990). Psychologist assessed children at chronological age, with Bayley Scales-BSID-II (Bayley, 1993) and BINS (12 m) and BINS (24 m). Results demonstrated homogeneous characteristics sample. Reliability indexes were over requested standards. Validity evidences based on external variables were positive moderated and BINS (24 m)/BSID-II (mental) presented high correlation. Validity evidences based on content were attested by expertise. High sensitivity was found. So, BINS can be considered an instrument of adequate psychometric properties, able to screen children under risk, according to Psychological Association requests.
巴西的心理计量学研究越来越多。贝利婴幼儿神经发育筛查器 - BINS（Aylward，1995）是一种低成本、快速的工具。它可以在 10 分钟内将儿童分类为发育风险程度。本研究旨在调查 BINS 的心理计量学特性。61 名低收入巴西早产儿被分为两组：31 名 12 个月大的儿童和 30 名 24 个月大的儿童，均为性别，出生体重<2000 克。社会人口心理学特征之前已被记录。神经科医生通过 Amiel-Tison 和 Gosselin（2001）以及医生通过 Denver-DDST-II（Frankenburg、Dodds、Archer 和 Bresnick，1990）对他们进行了检查。心理学家在儿童的实际年龄时，使用贝利婴幼儿发展量表第二版 - BSID-II（Bayley，1993）和 BINS（12 个月）和 BINS（24 个月）进行了评估。结果表明样本具有同质特征。可靠性指标超过了要求的标准。基于外部变量的有效性证据得到了适度的验证，并且 BINS（24 个月）/BSID-II（智力）之间存在高度相关性。基于内容的有效性证据得到了专业知识的证明。灵敏度很高。因此，BINS 可以被认为是一种具有足够心理计量学特性的工具，能够根据心理协会的要求筛查处于风险中的儿童。
