Children were tested with the KABC-II which is a measure of information processing and cognitive abilities in children aged 3 to 18 years23. In assessing information processing in children 7 to 16 years, the KABC-II uses 13 subtests which are grouped into four scales: (a) Learning, storing and efficiently retrieving newly learned or previously learned information; (b) Sequential Processing, taking in and holding information and then using it within a few seconds; (c) Simultaneous Processing, perceiving, storing, manipulating and thinking with visual patterns; and (d) Planning, solving novel problems by using reasoning abilities like induction and deduction.
