Normierung der Testbatterie COGBAT bei Jugendlichen im Alter von 12 bis 15 Jahren
Abstract
Zusammenfassung: Das Jugendalter stellt eine wichtige Phase in der Entwicklung der Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit, der Aufmerksamkeit, des Gedächtnisses und der exekutiven Funktionen dar. Im Rahmen einer Normierungsstudie der kognitiven Basistestung (COGBAT) für das Jugendalter wurden Testwerte bei n = 269 Jugendlichen im Alter von 12 bis 15 Jahren erhoben und mit den Normen der Altersgruppe der 16- bis 30-Jährigen verglichen. Zusätzlich wurde überprüft, inwiefern sich diese Testergebnisse in der subjektiven Einschätzung zur Leistungsfähigkeit (FLei) und Psychopathologie (SDQ) abbilden lassen. Im Jugendalter zeigte sich ein starker Zuwachs in der kognitiven Flexibilität, der Verarbeitungs- und Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit sowie der Inhibitions- und Planungsfähigkeit. Ein bedeutsamer Geschlechtsunterschied fand sich in der Inhibition, mit stärkeren Leistungen bei Mädchen als bei Jungen. Zwischen den Testergebnissen und den subjektiven Einschätzungen zeigten sich keine Zusammenhänge.
Abstract: Adolescence represents an important phase in the development of cognitive functions. In this standardization study of the neuropsychological test battery Cognitive Basis Assessment (COGBAT), we compared the scores of N = 269 healthy adolescents between 12 and 15 years with existing standardized scores of individuals between 16 and 30 years. We then examined the associations between COGBAT scores and the Subjective Performance Assessment Questionnaire (FLei) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Adolescents demonstrated a strong improvement in reaction and processing speed as well as inhibition and planning abilities. There was weak evidence of gender differences for the cognitive domains studied, with females showing slightly better inhibition than males. We found no specific associations between COGBAT and FLei, or COGBAT and SDQ.
