Abstract

The present study was carried out in order to examine the validity of the
translated CAS Basic Battery for Arabic speaking school aged children in Israel,
ages 5.0-7.11 years on a sample population of 49 (21 males, 28 females) students.
Data collected ware cross-validated with data obtained from a matched sample of
English-speaking, American students (retrieved from the test standardization
sample, using English version). Analysis of the internal consistency of the (CAS) –
Arabic Edition indicates a high degree of reliability; comparison between
performance of the groups’ scores reveals a high degree of validity. Further
analysis of data on the impact of cross-language translation, age, gender, and
parental education attainment confirms that the (CAS) – Arabic battery is
psychometrically appropriate for use with this distinct ethnic group of children.
