The first comprehensive guide to Continuous Performance Testtechniques
Continuous Performance Tests (CPTs) are used in the ongoingdiagnosis and treatment monitoring of children and adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In Clinical Applications of Continuous Performance Tests, three well-respectedmembers of the behavioral assessment field discuss the clinical useand limitations of CPTs, as well as their diagnostic efficacy fordisorders first evident in childhood and adolescence and thoseevident later in adulthood.
This comprehensive handbook is the first to examine thesimilarities and differences of the numerous CPT techniques andtheir research literature. The four major instruments in use todayare thoroughly reviewed (Conners’ CPT, Gordon Diagnostic System, Integrated Visual and Auditory CPT, and Test of Variables of Attention/Test of Variables of Attention-Auditory), along with acomplete overview of their specific applications. Additional CPTsare discussed in the context of how modifications to the CPTparadigm can affect results and, subsequently, interpretation.Brain-behavior correlates of CPT scores and the use of CPTs formonitoring effectiveness of treatment approaches are also coveredin depth.
For psychologists, psychiatrists, and neurologists who diagnose andtreat ADHD, Clinical Applications of Continuous Performance Testsis a unique and invaluable resource.
* Examines and compares four major, commercially available CPTs
* Includes guidelines for clinical practice and application
* Provides basic neuroscience underlying the CPT paradigms
* Explains how to monitor medication effects with CPTs
* Defines the relationship of CPTs to other cognitive andbehavioral measures
