Summary and Conclusions: The Future of Newborn Assessment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sameroff, Arnold J. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Discusses the role and limitations of the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale in the continuing effort to construct an adequate account of infant development. (BH)

Assessing an Assessment: Conceptual considerations, Methodological Issues, and a Perspective on the Future of the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Als, Heidelise – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Describes the conceptual model of newborn organization underlying the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS). Argues that while the NBAS allows for the identification of an individual's behavioral repertoire, attempts to synthesize the resulting data have been plagued with difficulties. Briefly outlines an alternative model for…

Discriminating among Normal Infants by Multivariate Analysis of Brazelton Scores: Lumping and Smoothing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kaye, Kenneth – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1978
Utilizes experimental results to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale as an instrument for measuring individual (rather than group) differences among infants and notes how these differences contribute to parent-infant interaction. (BH)

King, Daniel W.; King, Lynda A. – 1978
This paper presents results of a generalizability assessment of two sets of scales designed to evaluate the quality of verbal and nonverbal interactions between parent and child. The Nursing Child Assessment Feeding Scale (NCAFS) and Nursing Child Assessment Teaching Scales (NCATS) were developed as part of a longitudinal study aimed at…

Attachment Categories as Reflections of Multiple Dimensions: Comment on Fraley and Spieker (2003).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sroufe, L. Alan – Developmental Psychology, 2003
Ainsworth's system of classifying attachment patterns will not be easily displaced primarily because of difficulties involved in a dimensional approach. Problems include the number of dimensions involved, need to develop reliable scales, and need to describe how behavior changes across age and in the Strange Situation. Only when an alternative…

Are There Really Patterns of Attachment? Comment on Fraley and Spieker (2003).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Waters, Everett; Beauchaine, Theodore P. – Developmental Psychology, 2003
Focuses on three questions related to attachment theory: whether it requires distinct patterns of attachment, how taxonomic analysis contributes to understanding individual differences in attachment security, and whether attachment theorists are asking the right questions. Asserts that attachment theory is indifferent to the structure of…

What Are the Differences between Dimensional and Categorical Models of Individual Differences in Attachment? Reply to Cassidy (2003), Cummings (2003), Sroufe (2003), and Waters and Beauchaine (2003).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fraley, R. Chris; Spieker, Susan J. – Developmental Psychology, 2003
Discusses four questions concerning commentaries on the taxometric analysis of Strange Situation behavior related to: (1) whether the categorical model of attachment facilitates theoretical and empirical innovations; (2) whether and how a continuum of security fits into the two-dimensional model; (3) the role of types and dimensions in…
