Description

The Continuous Performance Test 3rd Edition (Conners CPT 3) is a task-oriented assessment of attention-related problems in individuals aged 8 years and older. By indexing the respondent’s performance in areas of inattentiveness, impulsivity, sustained attention, and vigilance, the Conners CPT 3 may be useful to the process of diagnosing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and other neurological conditions related to attention. The Conners CPT 3 provides objective information about an individual’s performance in attention tasks, complementing information obtained from rating scales such as the Conners 3.

The updated version of this assessment transforms it from stand-alone software version to web application that can be accessed on multiple computers while maintaining its psychometric properties and test paradigms. The Conners CPT 3 Online allows you to administer, score, and generate a report from anywhere with an internet connection.

How to Use the Assessment

During the 14-minute, 360-trial administration, respondents are required to respond when any letter, except “X,” appears. There are six blocks (sets of trials), with three sub-blocks, each consisting of 20 trials. Responses from the 14-minute, 360-trial protocol are used to compute scores that assess various aspects of the respondent’s attention.

Reports

The following online reports are available:

Conners CPT-3 Assessment Report provides detailed results from a single administration. An individual’s scores are compared to those in the normative sample, and elevations at the scale and subscale level are indicated.
Conners CPT-3 Progress Report provides an overview of change over time by combining and comparing results between two to four administrations. These reports are ideal to use when monitoring treatment and intervention effectiveness.
