Evaluation of techniques for assessing neurobehavioral development in children.

A battery of tests has been designed to explore functional disabilities in children 10-12 years of age arising from adverse conditions during early development. At these ages, it becomes possible to use more complex and challenging tests than those typically used at earlier ages. Although the battery was prompted originally by questions arising from methylmercury exposure, it was also designed for applicability to neurotoxicant exposures arising from pesticides, solvents, persistent organic pollutants such as PCBs and dioxins, other metals, and nutrient excesses and deficiencies as well.
