Brazelton 新生儿行为评估量表是一种行为分析工具，它为研究人员提供了一种系统的方法来引出和记录一系列复杂的行为参数，这些参数反映了健康足月新生儿当前的组织和功能。该评估的重点是新生儿作为嵌入成人护理人员反馈系统中的社交互动有机体的适应能力。它揭示了新生儿个体用来处理有生命和无生命环境的过程，并产生一系列定义和规模化的行为描述符，这些描述符允许对反映生理组织、运动组织、状态组织和交互组织等功能子系统的行为参数的各个方面进行量化。因此，它为了解人类新生儿当前组织的复杂性提供了一个窗口。它没有提供一种现成的方法来综合所获得的有关新生儿个体的信息。研究人员的任务是开发适合所研究问题的综合方法。
The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale is a behavior analysis instrument which provides the researcher with a systematic way of eliciting and documenting a series of complex behavioral parameters reflecting the healthy term newborn's current repertoire of organization and functioning. This assessment focuses on the newborn's adaptation as a social interactive organism embedded in a feedback system with an adult caregiver. It brings out those processes which the individual newborn uses to deal with his animate and inanimate environment and yields a series of defined and scaled behavioral descriptors which permit quantification of aspects of behavioral parameters reflecting such subsystems of functioning as physiological organization, motoric organization, state organization, and interactive organization. As such, it provides a window on the complexity of current organization of the human newborn. It does not provide a ready-made method of synthesizing the information gained about the individual newborn. It becomes the researcher's task to develop a synthesis method appropriate to the question under investigation.
