BAS
British abilities scales
- Verbal ability: receptive, expressive
- Non-verbal ability: spatial reasoning/processing and pattern recognition
- Quantitative reasoning: reasoning skills (numerical, problem solving)
- Abstract reasoning: logical thinking, problem-solving, pattern recognition
- Memory: WM and long-term
- Spreed of processing: speed of processing and responding to info
BAS Matrices
- Non-verbal reasoning
- Pattern recognition: Underlying rules and relationships
- Logical deduction: analyse info and make inferences (apply rules)
- Problem solving
CTOPP
Comprehensive test of phonological processing
- Phonological awareness: Awareness and access to sound structure (smaller phonological units e.g., phonemes)
- Phonological memory: phonological loop capability. Important for decoding new words and comprehension
- Rapid naming: Retrieval from long-term memory efficiency
TOMAL
Test of memory and learning
- Verbal
- Non-verbal
- Delayed recall memory
5 supplementary indexes:
- Attention/concentration
- Sequential memory
- Free recall
- Associative recall
- Learning
Conner’s
Sub scales
- ADHD Index: A score that identifies participants who are likely to have ADHD
- Conners’ global index (CGI) restless-impulsive: A subscale that measures restless and impulsive behavior
- CGI emotional lability: A subscale that measures emotional lability
- DSM-inattentive: A subscale that measures inattentive behavior
- DSM-hyperactive/impulsive: A subscale that measures hyperactive and impulsive behavior
- Oppositional: A subscale that measures oppositional behavior
- Cognitive Problems/Inattention: A subscale that measures cognitive problems and inattention
- Hyperactivity: A subscale that measures hyperactivity
- Anxious-Shy: A subscale that measures anxious-shy behavior
- Perfectionism: A subscale that measures perfectionism
- Social Problems: A subscale that measures social problems
Functional behaviour analysis
E.g., ABC’s
- Antecedent (Trigger)
- Behaviours
- Consequences (Do any maintain the behaviour?)
Assess behaviour via…
- Direct observation
- Interviews/surveys
- Checklist/ rating scales
- Records review
