Cognitive Development vs EYT PRSIST Usage & Stats
Cognitive Development Screening Tool assesses a child’s level of understanding as a guide to further intervention.
The Screening Tool is designed to be used by professionals and parents who are concerned with a child’s learning development. The tool assesses a child’s understanding . This review can be useful whilst waiting for a formal assessment from a trained Speech and Language Professional.
The assessment is divided into six levels, approximating to 6 month stages starting at 2 years through to 5 years.
The questions use engaging illustrations, and there is clear feedback on the answers given by the student. The questions are written on each page for the adult to ask of the student. There is also an option for the sentence to be spoken by the iPad.
The results are saved on the iPad and are displayed on the set-up screen. The results show the responses to each question plus there is a summary of the results banded into three categories: Green, Amber and Red. These aim to guide the adult to areas needing further work.
The results can also be printed or emailed to enable recording in other formats.

The Early Years Toolbox (EYT) Preschool Situational Self-Regulation Toolkit (PRSIST) Assessment assesses young children’s cognitive and behavioral self-regulation, through observer ratings of children as they engage in authentic, semi-structured activities. Specifically, in one group activity (e.g., memory card game in a group of four) and one individual activity (e.g., curiosity boxes guessing game), an adult facilitating the activity rates aspects of each child's cognitive self-regulation (e.g., sustaining attention, remaining engaged) and their behavioural self-regulation (e.g., resisting impulses, remaining within the rules of the activity). Each rating consists of 8 items, which are explained and described to guide ratings. Free online training in using this tool is available at www.prsist.com.au/assessment.html. This site also provides a full description of PRSIST activities. This assessment takes an average of 8 minutes to complete per child.
Scores are presented on the final assessment screen. For more information on PRSIST, visit www.prsist.com.au. For more information on the Early Years Toolbox, see http://www.eytoolbox.com.au
About the Early Years Toolbox:
The 'Early Years Toolbox' (EYT, for short) is comprised of brief, engaging game-like assessments of children’s self-regulation, executive functioning and vocabulary. These assessments are based on well-established and widely used measures, yet have been adapted and optimised on the basis of 20+ years of research experience working with young children.
