Accepted Answer

General Ability Index (GAI)

Answer

The General Ability Index combines verbal comprehension, visual spatial, and fluid reasoning subtests while minimizing working memory and processing speed.

Question 4

Which ancillary index combines Working Memory and Processing Speed subtests to reflect cognitive efficiency?

Accepted Answer

Cognitive Proficiency Index (CPI)

Answer

The Cognitive Proficiency Index reflects how efficiently a child processes information using working memory and processing speed subtests.
