Unlike adults (Hutchinson et al., 1992), there is no universally accepted methodology for measuring infant and child development in relation to environmental exposures. The selected approach must be age, gender, and culturally appropriate. A number of evaluation tools exist for measuring targeted aspects of infant or child development, especially motor, cognitive, or sensory domains. Many instruments can be jointly administered to ensure assessment of various aspects of development.

Children s scores on the auditory comprehension scale of the Preschool Language Scale were also inversely associated with maternal-hair Hg concentrations (p = 0.0019). Scores declined approximately 2.5 points across the range of Hg concentrations. Additional analyses identified several outlier or influential data points, whose exclusion finm the analyses reduced the estimates of the Hg effect substantially, sometimes to nonsignificance. In the pilot phase of the SCDS, information was not collected on several key variables that frequently confoimd the association between neurotoxicant exposures and child development. Those variables are socioeconomic status, caregiver inteUigence, and qirality of the home environment.
