De Cognitieve Test Applicatie (COTAPP): geavanceerde computertest voor het meten van aandacht, informatieverwerking en executieve functies bij kinderen

Abstract

The Cognitive Task Application (COTAPP) is a short, computerized test based on scientific knowledge. The task application assesses the attention, information processing and executive functions of children with a mental age of 6–12 years. The normative sample consisted of 1,032 Dutch children. Their intelligence, academic achievement and psychological functioning were also assessed. For validity purposes, 79 children with ADHD participated. Test-retest reliability was examined in a total of 127 children. The COTAPP generates 22 basic and 46 specialized parameters. Split-half reliability correlates are strong for almost all basic parameters. Test-retest reliability correlations vary from moderate to strong for the basic parameters. The COTAPP shows associations with intelligence, academic achievement and ADHD. Accounting for reliability and validity is recommended when interpreting individual results. The COTAPP is able to quickly provide a valid and reliable cognitive profile of strengths and weaknesses in attention, information processing and executive functioning.
