Motor Development in Yucatecan Infants

Infant motor development was studied in three socio‐cultural groups in Yucatan, Mexico, using the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) and the Bayley Infant Motor Scale. Eight infants (four boys and four girls) at each month of age from two weeks to one year and two weeks were examined in each group, a total of 288 infants (96 in each group). There were no significant differences in motor development among the groups or between boys and girls. There was an increase in abilities with age. Compared with the Bayley norms for the USA, fine motor co‐ordination was advanced in these children but there was a delay in walking. The DDST was unable to detect children more than one standard deviation below the mean on the Bayley Infant Motor Scale.
