Selective attention can be assessed using various methods:
1. Behavioral Observations: Teachers and parents can observe how well a child focuses on tasks and ignores distractions. 2. Standardized Tests: Tests like the Continuous Performance Test (CPT) can measure a child's ability to maintain attention over time. 3. Neuropsychological Assessments: These assessments can provide detailed information about a child's cognitive functions, including selective attention.
