This study demonstrated that encountering children ages 18‐23 months whose performance is not scorable by standard methods for either the Stanford Binet Intelligence Test or the Bayley Scales of Infant Development mental scale is a relatively frequent occurrence. However, the results of this study bring into question Sternlicht's (1965) suggestion that an 18‐month basal level on the Stanford‐Binet may be assumed, given success by a child on only one item at the two‐year level. The study indicates that a child must succeed on at least two, or more conservatively, four items at the two‐year level on the Stanford‐Binet in order to assume an 18‐month basal level.
