An historical perspective on behavioral teratology.

R E Butcher

    Neurobehavioral Toxicology and Teratology
    |November 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Behavioral teratology research needs better methods. Past expert consensus and informal studies failed to find reliable safety evaluation screening tests.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Teratology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Teratology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Behavioral teratology integrates developmental psychology and teratology principles.
    • Focus includes morphological examination and public health concerns.
    • Safety evaluation requires reliable screening methods.

    Observation:

    • Two strategies were used to find screening methods: expert consensus and informal interlaboratory studies.
    • Neither strategy successfully identified appropriate screening methods.
    • These attempts highlighted a need for dedicated research.

    Findings:

    • Previous approaches to selecting screening methods in behavioral teratology were unsuccessful.
    • Expert consensus and informal reliability studies did not yield effective screening tools.
    • There is a clear need for targeted research in test selection and interlaboratory reliability.

    Implications:

    • Future research must focus on developing and validating specific test selection criteria.
    • Establishing interlaboratory reliability is crucial for robust behavioral teratology safety evaluations.
    • Improved methods are essential for advancing the field of behavioral teratology and ensuring public health.
