CAS Test; It was developed to determine the competence and level of school-age children in cognitive processes. CAS Test in general; It is used to determine the cognitive processing areas that are strong and weak in learning, to classify (learning difficulties, attention deficit, mental disability, superiority, etc.), and to evaluate education and treatment programs.
CAS Test is also used to evaluate the following conditions;
Assessment of Children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder
Evaluation of Those with Learning Disabilities
Assessment of Mental Retardation
Assessment of Those with Traumatic Brain Injury
Assessment of Those with Serious Emotional Disorders
Assessment of Gifted Children
Identification of Those with Planning Problems
Predicting Success
In addition to all these areas of use, students who have high cognitive performance but cannot reveal their real learning performance due to the incoordination between cognitive processing areas
CAS Test is developed to evaluate Planning, Attention, Concurrency and Successive Cognitive processing domains of individuals aged 5-17 based on Pass theory. The scale is a test consisting of 12 subtests. Its implementation takes between one and two hours. CAS Test (Cognitive Assessment System) roughly means Cognitive Assessment System. CAS Test; It is arranged in two separate forms as 5 – 7 and 8 – 17 years old.
The characteristics that the subtests in the CAS Test measure in the child are as follows:
-
Planning Cognitive Processing Area
Individual cognitive processes in which it determines, selects, applies, and evaluates solutions to problems. These operations include tools used to solve very complex problems.
-
Attention Cognitive I Processing Area
It refers to cognitive processes involving concentration, focusing on the basic point, focusing on important information, preventing distraction, selective attention, and maintaining attention for a long time.
-
Concurrency Cognitive Processing Area
Creating a whole from parts, seeing more than one detail at the same time, between words refers to cognitive processes such as understanding relationships, understanding emphasis, and processing with spatial information.
-
Consecutive Cognitive Processing Area
Sequential It includes cognitive processes such as understanding stimuli, working with a special sequence of sounds, serial organization of speech, rhythmic perception, capacity to hold independent unit information. If he has difficulty in learning, forgets what he has learned, has difficulty in learning, has difficulty in using time, it is useful to apply to a specialist to evaluate his cognitive processes by applying the CAS Test.
