Goals of the KABC-II

• Keep the positives of the original K-ABC and eliminate its negatives

• Measure multiple ability constructs

• Expand age range to 3-18 years

• Provide an assessment that is fair and flexible

• Offer effective preschool assessment

• Facilitate neuropsychological assessment

• Offer effective clinical assessment

Original K-ABC: The Positives

• Smaller ethnic differences for African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans

• Theory-based

• Easy to administer and score– Novel tasks

– Teaching Items

• Interpretive Manual and numerous validity studies

• Special education children in standardization sample

• Nonverbal Scale

All in KABC-

Original K-ABC: The Negatives

• Excluded verbal ability • Measured too few abilities

(Sequential-Simultaneous Processing)

• Included too much memory, not enough reasoning ability

• Had inadequate floors and ceilings for some subtests

KABC-II includes verbal

ability

KABC-II measures 5

Theoretical Foundations

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Theory of Original K-ABC

• Based on:

– Sperry’s cerebral lateralization theory

– Luria’s neuropsychological theory

• Definition of intelligence:

– The integration of sequential and simultaneous processing, distinct from language ability and factual knowledge

Theoretical Foundations of the KABC-II

Hybrid of the new and the old:

• Roots in Luria’s theory

• Simultaneously rests on the CHC model

• Provides alternative frameworks for interpreting the 4 or 5 scales that compose the battery

Page 21: Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Presentation Title Subtitle Your Name Title Contact email

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

• The CHC theory emphasizes specific cognitive abilities (broad and narrow abilities).

• The Luria neuropsychological theory focuses on “processes” and does not include measures of acquired knowledge.

• Both theories are equally important as foundations of the KABC-II.

• Both approaches are valid for understanding how children learn and solve new problems.

Selecting the Model: Guidelines

Page 32: Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Presentation Title Subtitle Your Name Title Contact email

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Selecting the Model: Guidelines

• Selection must be made before administering the KABC-II and should consider reasons for referral.

• The CHC model is given priority because Knowledge/Gc is an important aspect of cognitive functioning.

• The Luria model is preferred when the validity of the global composite would be compromised by including acquired knowledge.

• Models are selected primarily with “fairness” in mind.

Page 33: Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Presentation Title Subtitle Your Name Title Contact email

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Selecting the CHC Model

• known or suspected disabilities in reading, written expression, or mathematics

• mental retardation• behavior disorders• attention disorders

The CHC model is recommended when evaluating children with:

Also recommended for determining gifted and talented eligibility.

Selecting the Luria Model

The Luria model would be preferred, for example, when testing a child:

• from a bilingual background

• whose non-mainstream cultural background may have affected knowledge acquisition and verbal development

• with known or suspected language disorder

• with known or suspected autism

KABC-II Nonverbal Scale

• hearing loss (deaf or hard-of-hearing)

• very limited English proficiency

• moderate to severe speech impairments or language disorders

Use to enhance “fairness” of assessment for individuals with:

Yields only the Nonverbal Index. No Scale composites available.

Preparing for Administration

• Select CHC or Luria Model (or Nonverbal Index)

• Identify tests that will be administered. Depending on AGE and MODEL selected:

• Luria Model requires 5-8 tests • CHC Model requires 7-10 tests• Nonverbal Index requires 4-5 tests

• Arrange testing materials.

• Supplementary tests can be chosen later.

Supplementary Subtests

• Administer after core subtests• Use to explore hypotheses (added measure of core

scales)

• Use for planned comparisons• Use as a substitute if a core subtest is spoiledNo prescribed sequence with one exception - Delayed Recall.

• At ages 5 and 13-18, you must administer a supplementary subtest to get the right delay interval.

Ground Rules for Interpreting the KABC-II

• Interpret a scale index only if performance is consistent on subtests that compose scale (base rate rule <10%)

• Use .05 level of statistical significance when determining personal strengths/weaknesses

• Consider differences that are both statistically significant and uncommon (<10%) to be potentially valuable for diagnosis and educational purposes

Page 98: Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Presentation Title Subtitle Your Name Title Contact email

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Interpreting the Results

Step 1. Interpret the global scale index (FCI, MPI, or NVI)

A. Consult Table D.2 to obtain SS and 90% or 95% confidence interval. Use Table D.4 for PR and Table 5.1 for category.

B. If using NVI do not conduct any other interpretive steps.

Interpreting the Results

Step 2. Interpret the profile of scale indexes to identify

strengths and weaknesses (personal/relative and

normative)A. Determine whether each scale is interpretable (unitary).

B. Conduct normative analysis (relative to Average range of 85-115)

C. Conduct ipsative analysis (relative to child’s mean score)

D. Determine if any scales that are personal strengths or weaknesses are infrequent.

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Is Each Scale Interpretable?

Step 2A: Use base rate rule of <10%.See Record Form p. 3 for ages 7-18 and p. 23 for ages 3-6.

Page 101: Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Presentation Title Subtitle Your Name Title Contact email

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

What if a Scale is Not Interpretable?

• Provides rich, diagnostic information• Identifies uncommon variability • Provides divergent vs. convergent data

• Consider narrow abilities or task differences

• Use cross-battery assessment to explore

• Determine if tests within scale are a notable integrity (both > 12) or a notable limitation (both < 8)

Meaningfulness of Scale may be diminished, but the tests are not invalid.

Any Normative Strengths or Weaknesses?

Step 2B: Identify if any of the scales are a normative weakness (<85), or a normative strength >115.

Any Relative Strengths or Weaknesses?

Step 2C: Identify personal weaknesses or strengths in the scale profile. Calculate mean and difference from mean for each interpretable scale.

Interpreting the Results Optional Steps

Step 3. Scale ComparisonsA. Learning/Glr to Delayed Recall (5-18)B. Learning/Glr to Knowledge/Gc

Step 4. Supplementary Subtest AnalysisA. Compare to the mean scaled score of the core

subtests in interpretable scales.

B. See Table 5.3 (p. 55) of Manual for supplementary subtests by scale and age

C. Consult Table D.10 to evaluate the size and frequency of the differences.

• Zero scores always require caution.

• If child has more than 3 raw scores of 0, do not interpret the global scale index.

• If child has 2 of more raw scores on a scale, do not interpret the scale index.

Prorating is Permitted

• Prorating for the NVI or the Simultaneous/Gv Scale• Must have at least two usable subtests

Compute the rounded average (mean) of the usable scaled scores and use as the score for the unusable subtest(s).
