Overview of Neurocognitive and Behavioral AssessmentsSarah N. Mattson, Ph.D.San Diego State University
Outline of Presentation
Overview of assessments General ability measures Social and communication behavior Behavior ratings
Findings from previous assessments
General Ability Measures Bayley-III: Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler
Development-third edition Ages: 1 to 42 months Administration time: 45-60 minutes
DAS-II: Differential Abilities Scale-second edition Ages: 2:6 to 17:11 years Administration time: ~45 minutes
WAIS-IV: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-fourth edition Ages: 16:0 to 90:11 years Administration time: ~60 minutes
Social and Communication Behavior
ADOS: Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule Description: a semi-structured assessment used
to evaluate social and communication behavior across developmental levels and ages
Ages: toddlers to adults Administration time: 30-45 minutes
Behavior Ratings VABS-II: Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-second edition
Questionnaire and interview format Assesses adaptive behavior (personal and social skills
needed for daily living)
SCQ: Social Communication Questionnaire Assesses communication skills and social functioning
CBCL: Child Behavior Checklist Assesses adaptive and maladaptive behavioral functioning
DBD: Disruptive Behavior Disorder Rating Scale Assesses disruptive behaviors like those seen in ADHD
Research Involvement
Location: San Diego State University Direct assessment
~2 hours to complete assessments
Parent assessment ~1-2 hours to complete questionnaires ~1 hour to complete interview at CBT
Compensation: ~ $20 financial incentive and feedback from testing
Previously Reported
Delayed development, including motor and speech
Mild to severe intellectual disabilities Learning difficulties Behavior Problems including compulsive
behavior, short attention span, distractibility

Summary So Far…
Behavioral assessments support previous reports and may be unique from other developmental conditions
Understanding the relation between deletion size and cognition and behavior will provide important information that will help families, especially those with new diagnoses
Plans for the Future
Further examine our existing data and continue to collect new information
Seek external funding for research activities
