KABC-II Subtests Flashcards

1
Q

Sequential/Gsm

A

Number Recall

  • Short term auditory memory
  • Auditory sequential processing
  • Auditory memory span

Word Order

  • Visual/verbal sequential processing
  • Visual/verbal associative memory

CORE INDEX FOR FCI and MPI

Measures Short-Term Memory-taking in and holding information,
and then using it within a few seconds
Subtests include Number Recall and Word Order

Q

Personal
Strengths and
Weaknesses

A

If using the Luria Model, do not include the Knowledge
Index in the computation of the mean, even if Knowledge
Index subtests were administered as a supplement.
* If Knowledge subtests were given when using the Luria Model, it is
appropriate to compare that score to mean of the other index scores to
help determine strengths/weaknesses.
Include noninterpretable index scores in the computation
of the mean of index scores, but do not interpret a
strength or weakness from this scale.
Personal strength and weakness needs to be both
infrequent (denoted by significance column AND
infrequent (at least at 10%).
