Objective:

Caregiver-reported screening measures, such as the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3), can assess infant development across multiple domains validly and efficiently (Sheldrick et al., 2020). PediaTracTMv3.0 is a novel online caregiver-report measure of infant-toddler development, based on item response theory used to model latent constructs of motor (MOT) and social/communication/cognition (SCG), and exploratory factor analyses to clarify their dimensionality (Lajiness-O’Neill et al., 2021). This study examined the convergent validity of the PediaTracTMv3 MOT and SCG domains with ASQ-3 fine motor (FM), gross motor (GM), communication (CM), and personal-social (PS) domains at 9- and 12-months of age.

Participants and Methods:

The sample included 484 caregiver-infant dyads. SCG is composed of four factors at 9-months: imitation/communication (IC), nonverbal/gestural communication (NGC), affect expression (AE), social responsiveness (SR), five factors at 12-months: nonverbal/gestural communication/joint attention (NGCJA), sensory/social responsiveness (SSR), expressive/receptive communication (ERC), imitation/verbal and gestural communication (IVGC), cognition (CG). MOT is composed of four factors at 9-months: crawl/cruise (CC), trunk stability/manual motor (TSMM), rolling (RL), early walking (EW), six factors at 12-months: manual manipulation (MM), stand/cruise (SC), TSMM, walking (WK), stairs (ST), sitting (SIT). All ASQ-3 scaled scores, SCG composite factors, and MOT composite factors were averaged and standardized.

Results:

At 9-months, ASQ-3 GM and PediaTrac MOT factors of CC and EW were highly correlated (r= 0.83, p<0.01; r= 0.62, p<0.01, respectively). The 9-month ASQ-3 FM and MOT factor of TSMM were moderately correlated (r=0.36, p<0.01) as were 9-month ASQ-3 PS and MOT factor of TSMM (r= 0.38, p<0.01). At 12-months, ASQ-3 GM and MOT factors of SC, WK, and ST were highly to moderately correlated (r= 0.65, p<0.01; r= 0.81, p<0.01; r=0.27, p<0.01, respectively). At 12-months, ASQ-3 FM and MOT factors of MM, TSMM, and SIT were highly to moderately correlated (r=0.54, p<0.01; r=0.25, p<0.01; r=0.27, p<0.01, respectively). At 9-months, ASQ-3 CM and PediaTrac SCG factors of IC and NGC were highly to moderately correlated (r=0.59, p<0.01 and r=0.45, p<0.01, respectively). Likewise, 9-month ASQ-3 PS and SCG factors of IC and NGC were moderately correlated (r=0.38, p<0.01; r=0.32, p<0.01, respectively). At 12-months, ASQ-3 CM and SCG factors of NGCJA and ERC were highly correlated (r= 0.70, p<0.01; r=0.67, p<0.01, respectively). The ASQ-3 CM and SCG factors of IVGC and CG were moderately correlated (r= 0.49, p<0.01; r=0.46, p<0.01, respectively). The 12-month ASQ-3 PS and SCG factors of NGCJA were highly correlated (r=0.55, p<0.01) while the ERC and IVGC factors were moderately correlated (r=0.45, p<0.01; r=0.42, p<0.01, respectively).

Conclusions:

At 9- and 12-months PediaTrac MOT CC and WK are the most highly related to ASQ-3 GM while ASQ-3 FM is highly related to PediaTrac MM at 12-months. PediaTrac SCG IEVC and NGC at 9-months, and NGCJA and ERC at 12-months, are most highly related to ASQ-3 COM; ASQ-3 PS is highly related to IEVC at 9-months and NGCJA at 12-months, revealing strong convergent validity between PediaTrac and the ASQ-3.
