A Preliminary Investigation of the Suitability of the Wais-III for Afrikaans-Speaking South Africans
The standardised version of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III (WAIS-III) for English-speaking South Africans is currently widely used. Although an Afrikaans translation of the verbal subtests of the WAIS-III is provided in the manual, this translation has not been standardised. This preliminary investigation of the suitability of the translation for use with Afrikaans-speaking South Africans indicated comparability of the performance of a…
African Families' Perceptions of Traumatic Brain Injury
Using semi-structured interviews, this study explored the perceptions of traumatic brain injury (TBI) held by a group of 22 brain-injured individuals and their caregivers living in rural African communities. While there are similarities between these findings and those in other parts of the world regarding the cognitive, emotional, personality and behavioural changes experienced by brain-injured individuals, the perceived aetiology of brain injur…
Home environment and cognitive development of black infants in impoverished South African families
This study examined the interrelationships between home environment, mental and psychomotor development, growth, and educational and occupational indices of socioeconomic status among an urban sample of 305 African infants aged 2 to 30 months. The infants were assessed on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development and the Home Screening Questionnaire, and their heights and weights were recorded. Information regarding the family's socioeconomic statu…
A Factor Analytic Study of the Home Screening Questionnaire for Infants
In this study some of the dimensions of the home environments of infants as measured by the Home Screening Questionnaire (HSQ) were examined. The sample consisted of 305 urban African infants between 2 and 30 months. Because the influence of the environment has been found to increase dramatically during the child's second year, two age groups were defined: 183 infants between 2 and 17 months and 122 between 18 and 30 months. Three factors were ex…
Subclinical Undernutrition and Development
In investigating the effects of chronic, subclinical undernutrition on psychological development, 87 coloured preschool children were classified as undernourished or well nourished on the basis of anthropometric measures, dietary intake and maternal stature, and a comparison was made of their scores on the Revised Denver Developmental Screening Test. An assessment of each child's developmental history, the nature of the caregiver—child interactio…
