The objective of this study was to test the usefulness of dynamic assessment for determining cognitive abilities such as classification, auditory and visual memory, pattern sequences, perspective taking, verbal planning, learning potential, and metacognition in immigrant preschool children with and without competence in the dominant language (Spanish). One hundred seventy-six preschoolchildren were distributed in three groups according to the cultural background of their parents (native Spanish/Spanish-speaking immigrants/non-Spanish speaking immigrants). The children were assessed by means of the K-BIT, the Application of Cognitive Functions Scale (ACFS), and metacognition, language competence and academic performance estimates. The results show that although there are initial differences in execution between the two groups (Spanish/immigrants), there are no differences with regard to learning potential. The study also demonstrates the importance of behavioral, attitudinal, and metacognitive variables in children's test execution and academic performance.

One indication of this is that in the academic year 2007-2008, students with foreign nationality in general, non-university education represented 9.4% of the total, and 124,211 of these were preschool children (Instituto Nacional de Estadística, 2008).

It integrates traditional play therapy and classical operant methods. It has proved to be useful in problems such as disobedience, hyperactivity, aggression, lying, classroom behavior problems, stealing, self-injurious behaviors, tantrums, amongst others. Oppositional Defi ant Disorder (ODD) is characterized by an oppositional attitude toward authority, including temper tantrums, screaming, tantrums, arguments as to rules and requests, and so forth. This paper describes the application of PCIT to a girl of 3 years with ODD. Treatment lasted 11 months, providing positive results with problem behaviours, maintained through the one year follow up.
