Introduction
Three standardized tests include Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (KABC-II), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Fifth Edition (WISC-V), and Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities - Fourth Edition (WJIV:COG). In three different tests, the anticipated population is children that are aged between 6-18 years. The psychological condition required information that is based on the ability of children that provides understanding for conscious awareness and visual information. It includes factors like reasoning, concentration, and attention.
Technical Review Article Summaries
Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (KABC-II)
Article 1
Lichtenberger, E. O., Volker, M. A., Kaufman, A. S., & Kaufman, N. L. (2006). Assessing gifted children with the Kaufman assessment battery for children—second edition (KABC-II). Gifted Education International, 21(2-3), 99-126.
Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (KABC-II) allows clinicians to select a model for each child and it is best suited for understanding individuals’ backgrounds. This construct provides with underlying test with useful insights for children's problem-solving strategy and learning ability (Lichtenberger et al. 2006).
KABC-II is considered a psychometrically strong instrument and it provides detailed information on validity and reliability. The average consistency coefficient is .95 for MPI and it is at both ages 7-18 and ages 3-6, in FC, it means.97 for ages 7-18 and .96 for ages 3-6. The internal value of consistency ranges from .9 to .92 for the 7-18 age groups which provides a consistency value that is renegades from .74 to .93. The validity of KABC-II is supported by factors like co-relational data, clinical group studies, and analysis studies. KABC-II is the predecessor and it reduces differences between cultural groups and various ethics.
The test is reliable and valid for MPI for ages 3-5 is .86, ages 7-12 is .89 and ages 13-18 is .91. In the average test and retest that coefficient for FCI can be found as .90, .91 and .94. The validity of above result is supported with correlation data and provided results are based on confirmatory factor analysis across age levels that are supported by different batteries at different age level. The correlations ranges from .71 to .91 that provides global scale for validity.
Article 2
Drozdick, L. W., Singer, J. K., & Lichtenberger, E. O. (2018). The Kaufman Assessment battery for children—Second Edition and KABC-II normative update. Contemporary intellectual assessment: Theories, tests, and, (4th), 333-359.
KABC-II includes both expanded and core batteries and the core battery is required for yielding the scale profile of the child. The expanded battery offers a supplementary subset for increasing the breadth of constructs that can be measured by the core battery and it is followed up by hypotheses. In KABC-II, the core battery for the Luria model includes 5 subsets (Drozdick, Singer & Lichtenberger, 2018).
The KABC-II test is reliable and it includes coefficient is in the mid-90s and it means that the MPI coefficient is .95 for ages 7-18 and ages 3-6. The core subset has to mean reliability coefficients of .80 and it is greater at ages 7-18 and 3-6. The construct validity provides strong support for providing results that include confirmatory factor analysis. It supports 4 factors for ages 4 and 5-6 and 5 factors for ages 7-12 along with a factor structure that supports scale structure for broad age groups. KABC-II has data that can fit better into factors that have broad ability factors that are provided for older children.
The test is valid along with strong support by results gathered for...
