The temperament profiles of infants and toddlers with Down's syndrome were compared with those of a non-handicapped, age reference group. The comparison revealed that the children with Down's syndrome were generally similar to the non-handicapped group in terms of temperament characteristics. The results provide support for examining the temperament of children with Down's syndrome as a function of chronological rather than developmental age. The significance of documenting the diversity of behavioural styles among toddlers with Down's syndrome in evaluation and intervention is discussed.
将唐氏综合征婴幼儿的气质特征与非残疾的同龄参照组进行了比较。比较结果显示，唐氏综合征患儿在气质特征方面总体上与非残疾组相似。研究结果为将唐氏综合征患儿的气质作为实足年龄而非发育年龄的函数进行研究提供了支持。文中还讨论了记录唐氏综合征幼儿行为方式多样性在评估和干预中的重要性。
