Abstract	A panel of 15 experts in child development, early childhood education and measurement met in September 1972 to assist the Office of Child Development in establishing priorities in improving tests and measurements for young children. A summary of the panel discussion is presented along with the specific recommendations made by the participants. The key issues under consideration were: (1) the special statistical and methodological problems of measuring the behavior of young children and the impact of their environments because of the limited response system of young children and the rapid changes that occur in early life; (2) the considerations of construct-based measurement, particularly the problems of population and ecological validity that are inherent in the use of measures with different cultural groups; and (3) the dependency of the advancement of measurement research and development on appropriate policy decisions, and the availability and training of manpower.
