A historical review of neonatal assessment procedures is presented to demonstrate the trends in advancement of the field and attempts toward collaboration of medicine and psychology in contributions to the area. The literature suggests that the medically oriented neurological examinations have continued to be altered and improved. The growth of behaviorism within psychology and the view that behavior is closely related to underlying neurological mechanisms have contributed to the development of behaviorally oriented assessment procedures. These trends have combined successfully in the development of the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale, which focuses on assessment of behavioral capabilities reflecting the quality of parent-infant relationships. The most recent contributions are directed toward development of specialized assessment techniques to fulfill specific research needs. Suggestions and cautions for use of available procedures are presented.
本文对新生儿评估程序进行了历史回顾，以展示该领域的发展趋势，以及医学与心理学在该领域合作所做的努力。文献表明，以医学为导向的神经学检查一直在不断改变和改进。心理学中行为主义的发展以及行为与潜在神经机制密切相关的观点，促进了以行为为导向的评估程序的发展。这些趋势在布雷泽尔顿新生儿评估量表的开发中成功结合，该量表侧重于评估反映母婴关系质量的行为能力。最新的贡献是针对满足特定研究需求开发专门的评估技术。文中还给出了使用现有程序的建议和注意事项。
