Definition
- Introduction Cognitive process assessment is not a specific, universally agreed upon approach to assessment, but rather refers to a general orientation concerning mostly what kinds of knowledge, skills, and abilities ought to be assessed, and to a lesser extent perhaps, to how they ought to be assessed. Cognitive process assessment is often defined at least partly by what it is not – it is not ‘behaviourism’ and it is not ‘psychometrics’. It is not behaviourism, because behaviourist approaches focus on observable behaviour, which can be recorded on checklists.
