The present study was carried out in Israel in order to examine the validity of the translated CAS (Cognitive Assessment System) 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 were 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 indicated a high degree of reliability; comparison between performance of the groups scores and revealed a high degree of validity. Further analysis of data on the impact of cross-language translation, age, gender, and parental education attainment confirmed that the CAS-Arabic battery is psychometrically appropriate for use with this distinct ethnic group of children in Israel.
