Description

The Kiddie Continuous Performance Test Second Edition (Conners K-CPT2) program assesses attention problems in young pre-school-age children. With 7.5 minutes administration time this assessment is appropriate for children of such young age. Pictures of objects are used instead of letters to avoid confusion related to letter recognition. The child is asked to respond by pressing the space bar every time the ball appears on the screen.

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 K-CPT2 Online allows you to administer, score, and generate a report from anywhere with an internet connection.

How to Use the Assessment

The performance-based assessment uses pictures of objects (e.g., boats, soccer balls, trains) familiar to young children. The child is asked to respond to targets (all objects except the soccer ball) and refrain from responding to non-targets (the soccer ball) on the computer screen. The Conners K-CPT 2 Online uses two Inter-Stimulus Intervals (ISIs) of 1.5 or 3 seconds to prevent the practice effects that can occur as respondents learn to predict and prepare for stimuli. Each Conners K-CPT 2 Online administration includes five blocks, each containing a 20-trial sub-block of 1.5-second ISIs and a 20-trial sub-block of 3-second ISIs (200-trial total).

Reports

The following online reports are available:

Conners K-CPT2 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 K-CPT2 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.
