It is common for children aged 5-11 to have one low score on the ImPACT® Pediatric neuropsychological test. However, obtaining two or more low scores is uncommon, indicating test score reliability in pediatric neurocognitive assessment.
Area of Science:
- Neuropsychology
- Pediatric Neurocognitive Assessment
- Child Psychology
Background:
- The ImPACT® Pediatric is an iOS-based test battery for assessing neurocognitive functioning in children aged 5-11.
- Understanding the prevalence of low scores is crucial for accurate interpretation of test results.
Purpose of the Study:
- To document Multivariate Base Rates (MBR) in the ImPACT® Pediatric standardization sample.
- To establish the prevalence of low scores when multiple test results are analyzed concurrently.
Main Methods:
- The study analyzed data from the ImPACT® Pediatric standardization sample (N=892).
- Multivariate Base Rates were calculated using the 25th, 16th, and 10th percentiles as cutoff scores.
Main Results:
- A high prevalence of at least one low factor score was observed across all tested percentiles (25th: 54.2%, 16th: 38.1%, 10th: 31.1%).
- Conversely, the occurrence of two or more simultaneous low factor scores was uncommon across all percentile cutoffs.
Conclusions:
- The findings suggest that while individual low scores are frequent, multiple low scores are rare, supporting the reliability of ImPACT® Pediatric.
- These Multivariate Base Rates provide valuable normative data for interpreting pediatric neurocognitive test results.
