Conners Continuous Performance Test 3 (CPT 3)

Purpose: Assesses attention-related problems

Age: 8+

Time: 14 minutes

Format: Software

The Conners Continuous Performance Test 3rd Edition (Conners CPT 3) uses a task-orientated computerised system to visually assess attention-related problems by indexing the respondent’s performance in four areas: attentiveness, impulsivity, sustained attention and vigilance. Thus, the Conners CPT 3 can be useful to the process of diagnosing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and other neurological conditions related to attention.

During the 14 minute, 360 -trial administration, respondents are required to respond when any letter, except "X", appears.

The Conners CPT 3 is available as an unlimited use program.
