“…The Chinese version of the GMDS was revised for use with Chinese children in 2016, based on the 2006 update to the 1996 version of the GMDS (Luiz et al, 2006). A cross-cultural comparison study confirmed that GMDS was well adapted to a Chinese context and could reliably be used to assess development in Chinese children from birth to 8 years old (Tso et al, 2018). Li et al (2020) found that the scale had good reliability and validity in the evaluation of children aged 3 to 8 years old with ASD.…”

“…Three experienced developmental pediatricians who had been formally trained in the test and were qualified to use it for research evaluation participated in this study. The Chinese version of the GMDS was revised based on the 2006 version of the GMDS and featured normative data relating to China (Luiz et al, 2006;Tso et al, 2018).…”

“…A GQ or a subscale quotient <70 points (>2SD below the mean) is considered to indicate a significant delay in development, while a quotient >70 points indicates a mild or no delay (Cirelli et al, 2015). The Cronbach's alpha of the full scale of the Chinese version of the GMDS was 0.98, indicating a strong correlation between the subscales, while the subscales' Cronbach's alphas were all above 0.7, suggesting acceptable internal consistency (Tso et al, 2018).…”

“…The Griffiths Mental Development Scales–Chinese (GDS-C) is based on the 2006 version and revised for the Chinese population in 2016. Since then, GDS-C has been proven to be an accurate and effective test to assess the development of young children (11). Moreover, the GDS-C is also a useful assessment for evaluating the development deficits for neurodevelopment disorders involved with ASD children.…”

Childhood autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can easily be misdiagnosed, due to the nonspecific social and communicational deficits associated with the disorder. The present study attempted to profile the mental development and visual attention toward emotion among preschool children with mild or moderate ASD who were attending mainstream kindergartens. A total of 21 children (17 boys and 4 girls) diagnosed with mild or moderate ASD selected from 5,178 kindergarteners from the Xi’an city were recruited. Another group of 21 typically developing (TD) children who were matched with age, gender, and class served as controls. All children were assessed using the Griffiths Mental Development Scales–Chinese (GDS-C), and their social visual attention was assessed during watching 20 ecologically valid film scenes by using eye tracking technique. The results showed that ASD children had lower mental development scores in the Locomotor, Personal-Social, Language, Performance, and Practical Reasoning subscales than the TD peers. Moreover, deficits in recognizing emotions from facial expressions based on naturalistic scene stimuli with voice were found for ASD children. The deficits were significantly correlated with their ability in social interaction and development quotient in ASD group. ASD children showed atypical eye-gaze pattern when compared to TD children during facial emotion expression task. Children with ASD had reduced visual attention to facial emotion expression, especially for the eye region. The findings confirmed the deficits of ASD children in real life multimodal of emotion recognition, and their atypical eye-gaze pattern for emotion recognition. Parents and teachers of children with mild or moderate ASD should make informed educational decisions according to their level of mental development. In addition, eye tracking technique might clinically help provide evidence diagnosing children with mild or moderate ASD.

“…We will assess the children’s developmental states using the GDS-C 26 , which consists of six subscales: locomotor, personal-social, language, eye-hand coordination, performance and practical reasoning. The mean value of the six subscale scores is defined as the general quotient.…”

IntroductionDespite the increase in the survival rate of high-risk infants (HRIs) worldwide, the prevalence of motor and neurodevelopmental sequelae in such newborns has not shown concomitant improvement. Meanwhile, there are few cohorts that explore factors related to the development of HRIs in China. Therefore, the Guangzhou High-Risk Infant Cohort (GHRIC) has been designed to examine the complex relationships among a myriad of factors influencing growth and development in such children.Methods and analysisThe GHRIC study is a prospective cohort study that by the year 2023 will enrol an estimated total of 3000 HRIs from Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center (GWCMC) in Guangzhou, China. This study is designed to assess the growth and cognitive characteristics of HRIs and the risk factors affecting their development and prognoses. Data on risk factors, neurodevelopmental and cognitive-function evaluations, laboratory results, and specimens will be collected and analysed. Information on perinatal and clinical interventions for these infants will also be recorded during regular follow-up visits until age 6.Ethics and disseminationThe protocol for this study has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of GWCMC, which accepted responsibility for supervising all of the aspects of the study (No. 2017102712). Study outcomes will be disseminated through conference presentations, peer-reviewed publications, the Internet and social media.Trial registration numberChiCTR-EOC-17013236

The Griffiths Development Scales‐Chinese (GDS‐C): A cross‐cultural comparison of developmental trajectories between Chinese and British children

Abstract: The Chinese developmental curves obtained from the GDS-C showed similarities and differences to the developmental curves from the British GMDS-ER. The development of urban Chinese children should be assessed with the culturally appropriate GDS-C.
