Can a computer match a Psychologist's IQ test for kids?
NCT ID NCT07819006
First seen Sep 14, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
Researchers at Cairo University are studying whether a computer-based cognitive test called Rehacom gives similar answers to the traditional Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. About 150 typically developing children aged 9 to 11 take both assessments. The team checks how closely Rehacom's logical reasoning, word memory, and visual field scores track with total Wechsler scores.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Rehacom computerized cognitive assessment
- What this could lead to
- If the two tools line up, schools and clinics could use a faster computer-based test to check children's thinking skills. That may make cognitive screening easier to run at scale.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small correlation study in healthy children, so it cannot prove one test is better than the other. A computer test may also miss subtle thinking problems that a trained psychologist catches in person.
