Latent structure of the children's category test at two age levels in the standardization sample

The latent structure of the Children's Category Test (CCT; Bell, 1993) was evaluated in the standardization sample, with separate principal factor ana lyses for the younger subgroup (ages 5-8 years; CCT-1) and the older subgro up (ages 9-16 years; CCT-2). At both age levels, a two-factor solution was found. It is concluded that the CCT is a multifactorial instrument, and tha t clinical interpretation should consider the diversity of dimensions asses sed by this test.
