In their article, Byers-Heinlein et al. (2021) propose six solutions to create more reliable measures for infancy research. Whereas some of their solutions focus on changing the culture in the field (reporting on reliabilities, choosing measures based on psychometrics instead of conventions or face validity, conducting research on psychometrical qualities of measures), other solutions directly relate to the implementation of tasks or data analysis (collecting additional data, exclusion of unreliable trials, more sophisticated analyses). In this commentary, we highlight challenges in the assessment of measurement reliability and why the characteristics of current measures in infancy research make it difficult to add additional trials as suggested by Byers-Heinlein and colleagues. We then propose how the field of infancy research could move forward by changing (1) the way measures are developed and (2) what kind of measures are developed.

婴儿期研究人员需要改变他们制定措施的方式：对 Byers-Heinlein 等人的评论。(2021)

在他们的文章中，Byers-Heinlein 等人。（2021）提出了六种解决方案，为婴儿期研究创建更可靠的措施。尽管他们的一些解决方案侧重于改变该领域的文化（报告可靠性，选择基于心理测量而不是惯例或面部有效性的测量方法，对测量的心理测量质量进行研究），但其他解决方案与任务或数据的实施直接相关分析（收集额外的数据，排除不可靠的试验，更复杂的分析）。在这篇评论中，我们强调了评估测量可靠性方面的挑战，以及为什么婴儿研究中当前测量的特征使得难以像 Byers-Heinlein 及其同事所建议的那样添加额外的试验。
