part this is because very young children are a chal-
lenge to test reliably and their neuropsychological
function is more difficult to capture. There are
a few tests that are useful adjuncts to a general
IQ assessment, such as tests of phonological pro-
cessing [2], working memory [3] and declarative
memory [4]. When interpreting data at this young
age, bear in mind that some children may ‘catch
up’ in their test performance over time because
of neural plasticity or behavioural compensation
strategies. For research studies in particular it is
often interesting to take a developmental approach
in the assessment of specific areas of functioning.
