What is the correct stopping criterion for the CD assessment after 120 seconds?

The stopping criterion for the Cognitive Processing (CD) assessment after 120 seconds is to stop the assessment. This means that if a student has not successfully completed the item or reached a certain performance threshold within this time frame, the test protocol indicates that no further scoring or evaluation is necessary. It is essential to adhere to standard administration guidelines to ensure the results are valid and reliable. Stopping at this point prevents unnecessary strain on the child and acknowledges that the assessment goal is to gauge processing capabilities within a reasonable and set timeframe.

Respective items or extensions beyond this time limit are not aligned with the established assessment protocols of the WISC-V, which are designed to capture a specific range of cognitive abilities within predetermined parameters. This adherence helps maintain the integrity and consistency of the assessment process.
