The Gesell Development Assessment: Psychometric Properties.

Walker, Richard N.

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v7 n1 p21-43 Mar 1992

A test battery that corresponded to the Gesell Developmental Assessment (GDA) was given to 400 4-6 year olds. A truncated version of the GDA had moderate reliability and predictive power. Experienced judges sometimes differed in their assessments of a child's developmental level and recommendations for grade placement. (GLR)
