“…The story also incorporated an animal character in the storyline, as most storybooks for preschool children used animal characters to attract children's attention and interest ( 30 ) . Although story-based tasks have been used in previous studies to explore cognitive skills in preschoolers, they were restricted to a specific cognitive domain ( 25 , 28 ) . In contrast with such tasks, the current tool provides an opportunity to explore the cognitive-communication skills widely in preschoolers for the memory and executive function domains using real-world living context-based story tasks.…”

“…The participants were equally divided into two groups based on their age [Group I:3.6-4.5 years (Mean age = 3.8 years, Standard Deviation = 0.26) and Group II:4.6-5.5 years (Mean age = 5.1 years, Standard Deviation = 0.19)] with each group having similar gender representation. The participants were recruited based on the selection criteria similar to Prasanna et al ( 25 ) confirming the typical development (Ten Question Screen and Assessment of Language Development) and middle socio economic status based on the parental occupation and education (Modified Kuppuswamy Socio-economic Scale). Informed written consent was obtained from the school authorities and parents of the participants before the tool was administered.…”

Purpose To address the need for a standardized assessment tool for assessing cognitive-communication abilities among Indian preschoolers, the current study aimed at describing a Delphi based development and validation process for developing one such tool. The objectives of the research were to conceptualize and construct the tool, validate its content, and assess its feasibility through pilot testing. Methods The study followed a Delphi approach to develop and validate the tool across four phases i.e. conceptualization; construction; content validation; and pilot testing. The first three phases were performed with a panel of six experts including speech-language pathologists and preschool teachers while the pilot testing was done with 20 typically developing preschoolers. A literature review was also conducted with the Delphi rounds to support the developmental process. Results The first two rounds of the Delphi aided in the construction of a culturally and linguistically suitable story-based cognitive-communication assessment tool with the memory (free recall, recognition, and literary recall) and executive function (reasoning, inhibition, and switching) related tasks relevant for preschoolers. The content validation of the tool was continued with the experts till the revisions were satisfactory and yielded an optimum Content Validity Index. The pilot test of the finalized version confirmed its feasibility and appropriateness to assess developmental changes in the cognitive-communication abilities of preschoolers. Conclusion The study describes the Delphi-based conceptualization, construction, content validation, and feasibility check of a tool to assess cognitive-communication skills in preschool children.

“…This framework emphasized the utility of a static visual narrative and questioning technique for assessing reasoning abilities among preschoolers. Present research used a modified version of a story constructed in our previous work (Prasanna et al, 2022), wherein the effects of modality on a story-based recall task were assessed among the preschoolers. The story titled 'A Day at Grandparents House' (Prasanna et al, 2021b) with its six pictures (Prasanna et al, 2021a) was modified concerning its length and distribution of story elements across the modalities of presentation.…”

Background: Considering the importance of exploring the development of reasoning skills during preschool period and the suitability of using a culturally linguistically relevant story-based approach for the same, the present research intended to profile the reasoning skills in typically developing Indian preschool children between 36 and 72 months using a story-based approach. The specific objectives were to develop explanation, prediction, and inference based reasoning tasks around a story and assess the reasoning skills in typically developing Indian preschool children using the same. Method: Reasoning tasks across explanation, prediction, and inference domains were developed based on a story and evaluated for its psychometric properties. The developed tasks were then administered to 63 typically developing Indian preschool children attending English medium schools in Mangalore. The preschoolers were equally divided into three age groups, and the responses obtained across the age groups were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Results: The developed tasks were confirmed to have good psychometric properties like content validity and reliability. The age comparisons of reasoning abilities using one-way ANOVA suggested an increase in reasoning abilities with age during the preschool period. The qualitative analysis further suggested that with increasing age, the nature of reasoning changed from content-based reasoning to reasoning based on prior knowledge which was integrated with the story content. Conclusion: The study describes reasoning skill development using a story-based task in Indian preschoolers. The study findings further provide clinical and educational implications to assess and foster reasoning abilities among preschoolers.
