Neuropsychological battery for children
The measures of children´s and adolescents´ cognitive performance in the Czech Republic has been so far assessed mainly by intelligence tests, such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale (WISC-III) or the Intelligence and Developmental Scale for Children (IDS). However, there have been a growing requirements for more accurate examination of individual cognitive profile for which the neuropsychological tests are not available. So far, in the pediatric population, we can only examine more thoroughly some of the cognitive functions, such as memory. For many other tests, normative data are available for the Czech population only in a narrow age range. The Neuropsychological Battery for Children aims to become a quality and affordable neuropsychological tool for assessing the neuropsychological development of children aged 6–19 years with appropriate standards. The paper briefly describes this test battery.
