Psychoeducational Testing: Psychological Analysis of Educational Performance

Psychoeducational testing involves utilizing psychological tests to evaluate the cognitive processes affecting a child's academic abilities. Various tests like Woodcock Johnson III, DAS, and K-ABC II are used for cognitive and clinical assessments, learning disability evaluations, educational planning, and more. The tests are based on theoretical models like CHC theory and Luria's work on mental processing, with strong psychometric properties and specific sub-tests to assess different abilities like memory, learning, and planning.
