“…The results of cognitive assessments carry important implications for individuals' life choices (e.g., school placements, access to learning support or extension programs, determination of diagnoses such as specific learning disorder), and the use of invalidated or outdated methods and theoretical frameworks can be seriously deleterious for both individuals and society (Bersoff, DeMatte, & Foster, ). Hunsley and Mash () define EBA as “… an approach to clinical evaluation that uses research and theory to guide the selection of constructs to be assessed … the methods and measures to be used … and the manner in which the assessment process unfolds” (p. 30).…”

Objective This study investigated the Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) model in explaining the frequency of adoption and intention to adopt Cattell‐Horn‐Carroll (CHC) theory by practicing Australian psychologists as a well‐validated interpretive model when conducting cognitive assessments. Method Participants were psychologists with general registration (N = 42‐78 depending on the analysis) who completed a survey assessing cognitive assessment practices and perceived innovation characteristics of the CHC model. Results Few psychologists in the sample were found to be employing CHC in practice, supporting the presence of a theory‐practice gap within the cognitive assessment field in Australia. In addition, it was found that the DoI perceptions of compatibility, complexity, and relative advantage were helpful in explaining adoption/non‐adoption. Conclusions Highlighting the compatibility, complexity and relative advantage of the CHC model to psychologists could assist with addressing the theory‐practice gap in cognitive assessment in Australia
