Introduction to the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) for pediatric neuroclinicians. 1987

A S Kaufman, and M R O'Neal, and A H Avant, and S W Long

This article introduces the neuroclinician to the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC), a new test of intelligence and achievement with a strong theoretical base supported by diverse cognitive and neuropsychological research. The K-ABC global scales and their subtests are described in some detail, followed by a discussion of the neuropsychological relevance of the K-ABC subtests. The article also provides discussions of research in the following areas: psychometric properties of the K-ABC and a comparison to the Wechsler scales; interpretation and remediation of sequential-simultaneous processing differences; the value of the K-ABC in the assessment of minority children; and controversy surrounding the K-ABC.
