The
CogAT (Cognitive Abilities
Test)
General Purpose of the Cognitive Abilities Test: To
measure and learn about students’ general
and specific reasoning abilities:
"The general reasoning abilities reflect
the overall efficiency of cognitive
processes and strategies that enable
individuals to learn new tasks and solve
problems, especially in the absence of
direct instruction." (pg. 1, CogAT Form 6,
A Short Guide for Teachers,
Riverside Publishing)
"The development of these abilities begins
at birth and continues through early
adulthood. It is influenced by both
in-school and out-of-school experiences."
(pg. 1, CogAT Form 6, A Short Guide for
Teachers, Riverside Publishing)
