  1. NEPSY-II Overview Authors: Marit Korkman, Sally Kirk, Ursula Kirk Research Directors: Jim Holdnack, Lisa Drozdick

  2. New in NEPSY-II • Age extended to 16 • Shortened administration time due to increased flexibility in subtest selection and targeted diagnostic groupings • Assessment of aspects of social perception • New measures of inhibition, planning, and organization • New measures of visuospatial processing • New measures of memory and learning – particularly in spatial memory • Diagnostic groupings of subtests for use with clinical populations

  3. Changes from NEPSY • Domain Scores have been replaced by profile analyses of subtest scores • Increased number of comparison scores and base rates • Tower replaced • 4 New Measures of Executive Functioning added: Inhibition, Clocks, Animal Sorting, A not B • Improved floors and ceilings • Improved clinical utility • Improved ease of use • Enhanced process scores within subtests

  4. Organization of the NEPSY-II • Subtest scores are main scores within each domain • Flexible administration and subtest selection • 6 domains assessed within 32 subtests • Attention and Executive Functioning • Language • Memory and Learning • Sensorimotor • Social Perception • Visuospatial Processing

  5. Scoring Changes • Scoring simplified and clarified when needed • Domain scores replaced with subtest level analyses within each domain • Classification tables for performance on speeded tasks • Descriptive data provided on behavioral observations within and across subtests • Norms on subtests not re-normed from NEPSY

  6. Clinical Groups in NEPSY-II • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder • Reading Disorders • Language Disorder • Autistic Disorder • Asperger’s Disorder • Traumatic Brain Disorder • Mathematics Disorder • Emotionally Disturbed • Mild Intellectual Disability

  7. Validity Studies in NEPSY-II • Test-Retest • NEPSY • WISC-IV • DAS-II • WNV • WIAT-II • CMS • D-KEFS • Bracken Basic Concept Scale – Third Edition • Devereaux (within clinical groups) • ABAS-II (within clinical groups) • Brown ADD Scales (within clinical groups)

  8. NEPSY-II Scoring Assistant • Simplifies scoring process and time • Provides scores beyond the subtest level scores to allow for greater evaluation of strengths and deficits • Suggested subtest selection based on referral questions and assessment requirements • Teacher report added • Redesigned Parent and Clinician Reports
