“…The Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS)-2nd Edition 14,36 (Hebrew and Arabic versions; http:// www.psychtech.co.il/New/Products/ABASII) generates a general adaptive composite (GAC) score that summarizes performance across all skill areas, except for work, and a subscore for each of the 3 general areas of adaptive behavior as follows. The conceptual composite score summarizes performance across the communication, functional academics, and self-direction skill areas.…”

OBJECTIVEManagement of children with large temporal arachnoid cysts (TACs) remains controversial, with limited data available on their neurodevelopmental outcome. The aim of this study was to examine neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with large TACs.METHODSIn this medical center–based cohort study, 25 patients (19 males) who were diagnosed in childhood with large TACs (9 patients [36%] with a Galassi type II and 16 patients [64%] with a Galassi type III TAC) were examined. The mean ± SD age at assessment was 11.1 ± 5.6 years (range 2.7–22 years). Twelve patients (48%) had right-sided, 12 (48%) had left-sided, and 1 (4%) had bilateral cysts. Nine patients (36%) underwent surgery for the cyst. The siblings of 21 patients (84%) served as control participants. Neurodevelopmental function was assessed using the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS), Vanderbilt Behavioral Rating Scale (VBRS), and Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ), and quality of life was measured using the treatment-oriented screening questionnaire (TOSQ). The results of all instruments except for TOSQ were compared with those of the sibling control participants.RESULTSThe mean ± SD ABAS score of the patients was 93.3 ± 20.09 compared with 98.3 ± 18.04 of the sibling control participants (p = 0.251). Regarding the incidence of poor outcome (ABAS score < 80), there was a trend for more patients with TAC to have poor outcome than the sibling controls (p = 0.058). Patients who underwent surgery scored significantly worse with regard to the VBRS total score compared with those who did not (p = 0.020), but not on ABAS, DCD, or TOSQ. The mean score of the cognitive and psychological items on TOSQ was lower than that for the physical items (p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONSChildren with a large TAC performed similarly to their sibling control participants in neurodevelopmental function. However, a subgroup of those with cysts did have an increased risk for poor outcomes in general function. Neurodevelopmental assessment should be part of the management of all patients with TAC.

“…The adaptive behaviours of the ABAS-II are grouped into three subscales: the Conceptual Skills Composite, the Social Skills Composite, and the Practical Skills Composite, which together yield a general score referred to as the General Adaptive Composite (GAC). The ABAS-II has a high level of reliability and substantial evidence supporting its validity [22,23].…”

“…In prior research, a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was performed on the factor loadings of the ABAS-II structure for males and females. Results of this study revealed the pattern of factor loadings are consistent across gender, and that the skill areas measure the same constructs for both male and female participants (Wei, Oakland, & Algina, 2008).…”

Effects of Age, Adaptive Behavior, and Cognitive Abilities on Competence-Related Abilities in Children and Adolescents

Consideration of competence to waive Miranda rights (CWM) and competence to stand trial (CST) has become commonplace in the juvenile justice system. Past research has shown age and intelligence are important risk factors for incompetence, but investigations of particular aspects of cognition and more practical aspects of functioning are limited. The present study investigated the direct and indirect effects of age, adaptive functioning, and three specific cognitive abilities (working memory, attention, and processing speed) on both types of competence for 92 children and adolescents ages 8-16. While age was strongly related to all aspects of both types of competence, mixed results were found for the cognitive abilities, and adaptive functioning was only related to some aspects of CWM. Contrary to expectations, it was found that, for the most part, the effect cognitive abilities had on competence did not vary depending on the age of the child or adolescent, and that higher adaptive functioning did not serve as a protective factor for competence when cognitive functioning was low.
