The NEPSY-II is a standardized neuropsychological test for children ages 3-16 that assesses several cognitive domains. It was developed based on Luria's approach to assessing brain dysfunction in adults. The NEPSY-II improved upon the original NEPSY by expanding content and strengthening psychometrics. It was standardized using a stratified sample of 1,200 children and has good reliability and validity. Administration takes 45 minutes to 3 hours depending on the age of the child and number of subtests administered. The NEPSY-II evaluates several cognitive domains including attention, executive functioning, language, memory and learning, sensorimotor functions, social perception, and visual-spatial skills through various subtests.

childhood auditory and processing disorders in a simple manner to be able to reach all students.LEARNING DISABILITY:
(1) A disorder in the processing of information involved in understanding and using language (spoken or written)
(2) Difficulties in learning, particularly reading, writing, mathematics, and/or spelling
(3) The problem is not primarily due to other causes
(4) Special educational services needed to succeed in school
**Severe discrepancy between potential and achievement
Visual and auditory processing are the processes of recognizing and interpreting information taken in through the senses of sight and sound.
The terms, "visual and auditory processing" and "visual and auditory perception", are often used interchangeably.
Although there are many types of perception, the two most common areas of difficulty involved with a learning disability are visual and auditory perception.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:

Original NEPSY developed in 1998 (Finnish version in 1988)
NEPSY-II increases content and psychometric properties
Strong basis for development was Luria’s approach to
assessment of adults with brain damage
Luria –Nebraska 11 clinical scales:
reading
writing
arithmetic
visual
memory
expressive language
receptive language
motor function
rhythm
tactile
intellectual
4. Developmental & Neuropsychological Theory
Subtests to assess BASIC components of cognition
(i.e., fingertip tapping)
Subtests to assess complex cognition, requiring skills
from basic components (i.e., auditory attention)
Thus, scores can help inform how performance in one domain
can affect performance in other, more complex mental
processes.
Performance on BASIC tests would ceiling at early age, while
COMPLEX improves over childhood

40. Scoring
Three types of scores
Primary Scores: Global aspects or key clinical
variables
Examples: AR total, AW total
Usually expressed as SCALED SCORE, but can be as PERCENTILE
RANK
Combined Score (a type of Primary Score): total scores made
by combining 2 measures within the subtest
Example: Animal Sorting total errors combined with total correct
41. Scoring
Primary Scores (cont)
Cumulative Percentage: % of children at a
specific age that exhibit the behavior
Base rate of 10% means that 10% of children had
an equal or lower score
Base rate: concept is on rareness of the finding
rather than how well child performed relative to
normal distribution
42. Scoring
Primary Scores (cont)
Combined scores:
One score is weighted more heavily toward the
construct being measured; for example with
errors vs. speed in inhibition tasks, errors are
weighted more heavily than speed because
errors are related to executive functions more
so than speed of processing.
Always presented as Scaled Scores
43. Scoring
Process Scores: more specific than Primary Scores.
May not be relevant for all children- depends on referral
question.
For example, on Affect Recognition, there is a process score for
emotion error type – may only be relevant to certain
assessment questions (i.e. an individual being tested for ASD)
Can be expressed as percentile rank, scaled score, or
cumulative percentage
44. Scoring
Contrast Scores: To compare higher level (more
complex) to lower level (more basic) functions to
help ascertain where the problem lies by providing
data on one variable while controlling the other
Compares how child did compared to norm who had same
score on the variable being controlled
Example: AA combined = 10 and RS combined = 4, Contrast score
= 4; means that child did well below expected level on RS
considering his score on AA combined; conversely, if AA=4 and
RS=10, Contrast may = 14, meaning that child didmuch better
than expected on RS considering his score on AA
Contrast scores are always Scaled Scores
45. Scoring
Behavioral Observations, such as “distracted, off-task
behaviors, physical movement” receive cumulative
percentages or percents.
How many have conducted a NEPSY-II?Purpose of this intro is not to make you competent, but to introduce the NEPSY-II. Over course of the year hopefully we’ll have some cases where you can conduct portions with supervision and develop competency. This will be broken into portions.
Think back to neuropsych and the Luria model. Luria- Nebraska purpose is mainly to identify focal damage
Why the NEPSY-II is such a different test is that it is based on a combination of developmental AS WELL AS Neuropsychological Theory SLIDEIf time/budget allowed, excellent for ALL kids with learning disorders and special needs who have certain functions intact and others impaired – most daily tasks are extremely complex, not fingertip tapping. Examining specific functions extremely closely can provide much clearer picture and inform more effective intervention
SLIDEAs with most neuropsych instruments, verbal subtests have higher reliability
Overall, considered a stable and valid measure – can find all info on various measures of validity and reliability in manual
