Abstract
Neuropsychological tests are frequently used clinically to predict real-world, or adaptive functioning; however, there are too few data to support such predictions. The relationship between adaptive functioning and, in particular, attention tests, has not been documented. The present study sought to determine the association between several domains of attention and adaptive functioning in a heterogeneous clinical sample of 119 children. A significant omnibus canonical correlation (R c =.54) indicated that attention and adaptive functioning are correlated even when controlling for intelligence. Tests of attention and adaptive functioning domains that give rise to the overall association are discussed in terms of their clinical utility.
