Abstract :
[en] Facing the lack of psychometric tools, adapted to atypical populations, the present
article constitutes the first section of a study that aims at evaluating the use, in a suitable
manner, of the K-ABC test with child and adolescent populations carrying a
Down’s syndrome. Following a question review on a set of works that put forward the
heterogenic evaluating tools used with deficient subjects, this article proposed a solution
to the problem raised by the analysis of results obtained with the K-ABC test of
students with Down’s syndrome (i.e., standard notes, degrees of age development of
subjects, total intake vs. percentages of good responses). Statistical data screening
allows the examiner to determine how individuals how continue in further testing. In a
sense, these « subtests » clarify the level of performance and the cognitive efficiency of
the target subjects.
