BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The first year of life represents a critical developmental stage in which the foundations for motor, cognitive, language, and social-emotional development are set. During this time, development occurs rapidly, making early detection of developmental disorders essential for timely intervention. The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-Third Edition (Bayley-III) is an effective tool for assessing language, motor, and cognitive development in children aged 1 to 42 months. This study aimed to investigate whether or not the results of the Bayley-III in healthy one-year-old children are predictive for their later motor skills and school performance.
This study had a prospective, longitudinal design. The study participants were healthy children having performed Bayley-III at 1 year with information on motor performance ( = 170) at age 5-10 and school grades ( = 69) at age 7-10. Linear or logistic regression analysis was performed for data analysis.
Below-average performance in the cognitive part of the Bayley-III at age 1 was significantly associated with poorer performance in balancing backwards (b = -0.45), sideways jumping (b = -0.42), standing long jump (b = -0.54), and forward bends (b = -0.59) at age 5-10 (all < 0.05). Performance in other parts of the Bayley-III was not significantly associated with later motor skills. Furthermore, we did not observe any significant associations between performance in the Bayley-III and grades in school. The associations were not moderated by age, sex, or socioeconomic status (all > 0.05).
The cognitive scale of the Bayley-III may be used as a predictive tool for later motor skills. Regarding school performance, the Bayley-III cannot be considered predictive.
背景/目的：生命的第一年是一个关键的发育阶段，在此期间奠定了运动、认知、语言和社会情感发展的基础。在此期间，发育迅速，因此早期发现发育障碍对于及时干预至关重要。贝利婴幼儿发展量表第三版（Bayley-III）是评估1至42个月儿童语言、运动和认知发展的有效工具。本研究旨在调查健康一岁儿童的Bayley-III结果是否能预测其后期的运动技能和学业成绩。
本研究采用前瞻性纵向设计。研究参与者为1岁时进行过Bayley-III测试的健康儿童，有5至10岁时的运动表现信息（n = 170）以及7至10岁时的学业成绩信息（n = 69）。数据分析采用线性或逻辑回归分析。
1岁时Bayley-III认知部分表现低于平均水平与5至10岁时向后平衡（b = -0.45）、侧向跳跃（b = -0.42）、立定跳远（b = -0.54）和前屈（b = -0.59）表现较差显著相关（均p < 0.05）。Bayley-III其他部分的表现与后期运动技能无显著关联。此外，我们未观察到Bayley-III表现与学业成绩之间存在任何显著关联。这些关联不受年龄、性别或社会经济地位的影响（均p > 0.05）。
Bayley-III的认知量表可作为后期运动技能的预测工具。关于学业成绩，Bayley-III不能被视为具有预测性。
