A set of neurological tasks was administered to normal three- and five-year-old preschool children as well as to equal-age children identified as being at-risk for learning disabilities. 12 neurological test items were identified that differentiated normal from at-risk children at one or both ages. Follow-up of the five-year-olds at age seven showed a significant linear relation between scores on neurological tasks and the Wechsler Intelligence Test for Children. The neurological examination at age five also had predictive value regarding class placement at age seven. The findings suggest that a simple neurological test may be helpful for the early identification of preschool children who are at risk for learning difficulties.
对正常的3岁和5岁学龄前儿童以及被确定有学习障碍风险的同龄儿童进行了一系列神经学任务测试。确定了12项神经学测试项目，这些项目在一个或两个年龄阶段能够区分正常儿童和有风险儿童。对5岁儿童在7岁时进行随访，结果显示神经学任务得分与韦氏儿童智力量表得分之间存在显著的线性关系。5岁时的神经学检查对于7岁时的班级安置也具有预测价值。研究结果表明，一项简单的神经学测试可能有助于早期识别有学习困难风险的学龄前儿童。
