The predictive efficiency of Caldwell's Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME) with a sample of infants from low-income families at-risk for developmental retardation was assessed. The home environments of 51 infants were assessed with the HOME at 6 and 18 months. Multiple discriminant functions composed of the six HOME subscale scores predicted whether the child would be low IQ (below 75), low average (75 to 89), or average to superior (90 and above) at age 3. At both 6 and 18 months, the discriminant function of the HOME was found to be moderately sensitive in identifying children in the low-IQ group (62% correctly identified); 56% were false positives. Additional research is necessary to differentiate with precision among families at elevated risk levels.
评估了考德威尔家庭环境观察量表（HOME）对发育迟缓风险低收入家庭婴儿样本的预测效率。对51名婴儿的家庭环境在6个月和18个月时用HOME进行了评估。由六个HOME分量表分数组成的多重判别函数预测了孩子在3岁时是低智商（低于75）、低平均水平（75至89）还是平均水平到优秀水平（90及以上）。在6个月和18个月时，HOME的判别函数在识别低智商组儿童方面被发现具有中等敏感性（正确识别率为62%）；56%为假阳性。需要进一步的研究来精确区分风险水平较高的家庭。
