Scores for 1-18 month-olds do not correlate with later iq scores (no relationship) Begin to see systematic results when using test on babies at 18 months on. Present stimulus: measure how long it takes until baby looks away. Take stimuli away and put it back on measure again. Repeat until infant looking reaches boredom criterion. Time to habituate in 1-6month olds correlates highly with elementary school iq.
