Inspection of the Bayley Mental Scale test materials for potential hazards of choking, aspiration, and ingestion when used outside of test situation.
The test materials of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development were inspected for potential choking, aspiration, and ingestion hazards by unsupervised children under 36 mo. of age. When the small-parts test cylinder, defined by the Federal Code of Regulations, was used for the inspection, four pieces of test materials were judged too small: the doll with detached head, sugar pellets, the rabbit, and yellow cubes.
