What is true about the Bayley and Mullen scales?

The Bayley scale assesses linguistic skills
The Mullen scale helps in evaluating social skills
The Mullen scale allows for early educational intervention
The Bayley scale is focused on emotional development

The correct answer is: The Mullen scale allows for early educational intervention

The Mullen scale is designed to assess early developmental milestones in children, and one of its key purposes is to identify areas where children may need support, which can lead to early educational intervention. By evaluating various developmental domains such as visual reception, gross motor, fine motor, and language skills, it provides valuable insights that guide educators and caregivers in tailoring interventions that promote optimal development. This proactive approach is crucial in early childhood education as it allows for timely interventions that can greatly impact a child's learning trajectory and overall development. The other choices do not align with the primary purposes of the scales. While the Bayley scale does assess various aspects of development, it is not specifically focused on emotional development. The Mullen scale is not primarily directed at evaluating social skills, and the Bayley scale does not uniquely assess linguistic skills, as it encompasses a broader range of developmental areas.
