Abstract

Date Presented 03/28/20

The CKTA is an established, performance-based assessment measuring children’s executive function (EF) through a functional, kid-friendly playdough task. Task novelty is essential to assess EF. New tasks are needed to assess and document change in EF following treatment. Two tasks (mug cake and chocolate popcorn) were developed and compared to the standard playdough task to determine parallel forms reliability. Scores were consistently high on the two new tasks.
