In order to establish Chinese version of Kyoto Scale of Psychological Development Test, we administered this test for 2606 Chinese infants and children aged from six months to seven years old. According to the scores of each domain (Postural-Motor area, Cognitive-Adaptive, Language-Social area) and of all domains, we designed Chinese conversion table of score and developmental age of Chinese Version Kyoto Development Test. In relation to the analysis of the data on 1096 Chinese children aged from one to three years old, which was once printed in Page3 in Chinese Version Kyoto Development Test, we evaluated the reasonability of Chinese conversion table of score for developmental age through the study of developmental quotient (DQ) based on both Chinese Conversion Table of Score and Developmental Age and the original one. In addition, we compared the average scores in each domain and scores in all domains. We found that in some parts of certain age groups, DQ based on the original version were significantly different between China and Japan. However, it showed no difference or a small difference in using Chinese Version Table of Score and Developmental Age. At the same time, we examined the normality of the distribution of DQ of each age group in Chinese Standardization. DQ based on the original version did not show normal distribution form in some parts of age group. On the other hand, DQ based on Chinese Version Conversion Table of Score and Developmental Age showed normal distribution form in every age group and made good progress. Conse quently, we could establish the reasonability of Chinese Conversion Table of Score and Devel opmental Age.
