概要	The TABC is a parent-completed questionnaire assessing infant and toddler temperament characteristics in children aged 3 months to 3 years. Developed by Fullard, McDevitt, and Carey (1984), it measures nine temperament dimensions derived from the New York Longitudinal Study of Thomas and Chess: activity level, rhythmicity, approach/withdrawal, adaptability, intensity of reaction, threshold of responsiveness, mood, distractibility, and persistence. The TABC is widely used in pediatric and developmental psychology research to characterize individual differences in behavioral style and predict developmental trajectories.	The NBAS, commonly known as the Brazelton Scale, is a comprehensive neurobehavioral assessment tool designed to evaluate the behavioral competencies of newborns. Developed by T. Berry Brazelton and colleagues in 1973 and refined through multiple editions, it examines 28 behavioral items and 18 elicited reflex items to characterize a newborn's neurological integrity, behavioral capabilities, and individuality. The NBAS has become a foundational instrument in developmental pediatrics, neonatal neurology, and early intervention research.
