Dynamic-assessment instruments developed by Prof. Tzuriel, used worldwide to reveal cognitive modifiability and hidden learning potential in children.
The CATM assesses learning potential, cognitive functions, and required mediated learning strategies in young children, using the operation of analogy. It includes 18 colored blocks and three sets of analogical problems for Pre-Teaching, Teaching, and Post-Teaching phases.

A variant of the CATM where problems are presented in a 3D mode on a card with six possible solutions (one correct, five distractors). The child must sort out interfering distractors while holding the correct answer in working memory.

Assesses young children's learning potential, cognitive functions, inferential thinking, and mediated learning strategies. Uses figural 'sentences' describing possible object locations in houses with differently colored roofs.

A comprehensive DA battery of 8 subtests tapping different areas of cognitive functioning — from seriation and analogies to working memory and mental rotation. Used as both a diagnostic and an intervention instrument.

Composed of two versions — Closed and Construction Analogies — each containing two sets of analogical problems, conceptual and perceptual. Designed for young children, and linked to emergent literacy and improved analogical reasoning.

Designed for young children, mainly based on the operation of seriation — a prerequisite for arithmetic skills and the operation of transitivity. Used with disadvantaged, advantaged, and special-education children.

A novel DA instrument for assessing and teaching planning, self-regulation, and arithmetic skills based on seriation and math. Includes an Easy Version, a Transfer Test, and a Mental Rotation Test. Designed for grades 1–3 and older children with self-regulation difficulties.

A DA measure with Pre-Teaching, Teaching, and Post-Teaching phases. The child must place colored buttons on a transfer block after it is rotated 90°, 180°, or 270°, using clues such as the red tape, serial position, and relative position of the buttons.

An expanded Seria-Think instrument aimed at helping students in grades 6–9 and older (especially those with ADHD or learning disabilities) enhance self-regulation and planning behavior — major executive functions for school achievement.
Read more
Designed for students in grades 1–6, and for older children with learning difficulties in visuo-spatial areas. Children are asked to identify identical closed windows on rotated 'houses' arranged in 3 × 3 patterns.

A DA instrument assessing cognitive modifiability of mental rotation in 3D — a skill essential for STEM, navigation, geometry, and many academic and professional domains, yet often neglected in early education.
Read more
A dynamic assessment measure of learning potential and an intervention instrument for developing cognitive operations, problem-solving strategies, and deficient cognitive functions. Designed primarily for kindergarteners and grades 1–4, and also for older children with learning difficulties. Includes Construction and Closed analogy versions, each with 12 parallel problems across pre-teaching, teaching, and post-teaching phases. A Transfer subtest assesses internalization of problem-solving principles.

Two complementary tests of working memory — the Children's Spatial Working-Memory (CSWM) test and the Children's Verbal Working Memory (CVWM) test — designed for young children, with established reliability and validity in studies from kindergarten through Grade 4.
