Recent Trends in Cognitive Assessment for Children: CHC Theory and K-WISC-Ⅳ
(Fordham University)
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss recent trends in the field of cognitive assessment for children with a focus on CHC theory and to review K-WISC-Ⅳ. CHC theory, which is the most influential psychometric theory of cognitive abilities in contemporary cognitive assessment, has provided a theoretical framework for several recently revised intelligence tests for children and has led to the development of cross-battery assessment. Stated differently, this theory has contributed to reducing the gap between theory and practice in terms of the development, administration, and interpretation of intelligence tests over the past decade. From the CHC perspective and based on standards for educational and psychological testing, we reviewed K-WISC-Ⅳ that has been published lately with four revision goals including update in theoretical foundations, increased developmental appropriateness, improved psychometric properties, and enhanced test convenience. We provided some suggestions about the administration and interpretation of K-WISC-Ⅳ, and discussed implications for future research in the area of child cognitive assessment.
