The K-ABC: Theory and Applications for Child Neuropsychological Assessment and Research

Lawrence V Majovski, Ph.D.

Huntington Memorial Hospital, Pasadena, CA, Huntington Medical Research Institutes Advanced Neurosurgical Laboratories, Pasadena, CA

The article emphasizes the K-ABC test battery as it applies to the assessment of childhood information processing strategies. The specific areas of discussion are: the K-ABC's theoretical and research foundations as to its construct validity; usefulness in evaluating normal neuropsychological development of young children; and its role in clinical research and neuropsychological evaluation. Theory and research considerations as to adequate construct validity address the works of Sechenov, Vygotsky, Luria, and Das. Development of cognitive processes in normal children and applications of the K-ABC for child neuropsychology are discussed in light of the K-ABC's usefulness.
