The aim of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties and clinical use of assessments of sensory processing function, within the first 2 years of life, and to identify which assessment is the most appropriate and precise in measuring the construct of sensory processing.
The literature was comprehensively searched, and assessments used to measure sensory processing in infancy were systematically selected and reviewed for clinical use, reliability, validity, and responsiveness.
Thirty-four assessments were identified; three met the predefined inclusion criteria. All discriminative assessments, the Sensory Rating Scale, and Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile are parent-reported questionnaires and can be administered from birth up to 3 years of age. The Test of Sensory Function in Infants is a performance-based assessment and is suitable for infants aged 4 to 18 months. Studies evaluating the psychometric properties of these three assessments differed in the properties addressed and reported poor to adequate reliability.
Selecting the most appropriate and precise assessment to measure sensory processing function in infancy will depend on the specific components of sensory processing that need to be evaluated, infant age, and what other sources of information are available about the infant's development.
本研究旨在评估婴儿期前 2 年内感觉处理功能评估的心理测量学特性和临床应用，并确定哪种评估最适合测量感觉处理这一结构。
全面检索文献，系统选择并综述用于测量婴儿期感觉处理的评估方法，以评估其临床应用、信度、效度和反应度。
共确定了 34 项评估方法，其中 3 项符合预先设定的纳入标准。所有区分性评估、感觉评定量表和婴儿/学步儿感觉统合评定都是家长报告问卷，可以在婴儿出生后至 3 岁时进行评估。婴儿感觉功能测试是一种基于表现的评估方法，适用于 4 至 18 个月大的婴儿。评估这些三种评估方法心理测量特性的研究在评估的特性和报告的可靠性方面存在差异，从较差到尚可。
选择最适合和精确的评估方法来测量婴儿期的感觉处理功能将取决于需要评估的感觉处理的特定成分、婴儿的年龄以及关于婴儿发育的其他信息来源。
