abstract="Although lowered awareness of abilities has been associated with poorer outcome in adults with neurological compromise, a dearth of research exists examining whether lowered awareness exists in younger populations. Using findings from recent literature and expert opinion, a 47-item Subjective Awareness of Neuropsychological Deficits Questionnaire for Children (SAND-C) was created to assess awareness of cognitive functioning in 6 domains (attention, psychomotor, visual-spatial, language, memory, and executive functioning). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the SAND-C was conducted on a sample consisting of 365 healthy children and 48 children with epilepsy. The SAND-C was found to have strong reliability. Factor analysis confirmed the a priori 6 factor model, but the 6-factor model was only marginally better than a more parsimonious 1-factor solution. Post-hoc exploratory factor analyses indicate that the SAND-C may measure more constructs for adolescents than for younger children. The difference between younger and older children may reflect developmental changes in metacognitive awareness and abstraction about their own abilities.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
