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.
