We searched the literature from 1 January 1987 to 31 December 2017 for tools used among children aged 6 to 12 years. This narrative review has a twofold aim: first, to identify tools commonly used among 6–12-year-olds second, to summarize the psychometric properties of these tools especially emphasizing their usage across different cultural contexts. This is where the paper makes a contribution. In selecting sub-tests to adapt before using the entire test battery, researchers would benefit from having a reference source summarizing available tools and how easily they can be used in different context. To avoid or to at least to minimize bias in assessment, most researchers carry out cultural adaptations of these tools. However, most of these tests have been developed in high-income contexts (HICs). There is a significant number of neuropsychological measures for use among children aged 6–12 years.

The results suggest that the reliability and the stability of computer-based test batteries should be confirmed in the target population before using them for clinical or research purposes. For research purposes, we recommend using structural equation modeling to improve reliability. The SRM and the SOC tasks were not reliable or stable measures in this study population. The SSP and IED showed a moderate correlation between the two measurement points. The 1-year stability was moderate-to-good for the PRM, RTI, and RVP. The internal consistency was acceptable only in the RTI task. The reliability and the stability could not be determined for IED or SSP because of the nature of these tests. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was used to estimate the internal consistency of the nonhampering test, and structural equation models were applied to examine the stability of these tests. Seventy-four children participated in the follow-up measurements (64% girls) in spring 2012.

The children completed the following CANTAB tests: (a) visual memory (pattern recognition memory and spatial recognition memory ), (b) executive function (spatial span, Stockings of Cambridge, and intra-extra dimensional set shift ), and (c) attention (reaction time and rapid visual information processing ). Two hundred-thirty children (57% girls) from five schools in the Jyväskylä school district in Finland participated in the study in spring 2011. The internal consistency and 1-year stability of CANTAB tests were examined in school-age children. The Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) is a computer-assessed test battery widely use in different populations.
