Definition. Cognitive tasks are those undertakings that require a person to mentally process new information (i.e., acquire and organize knowledge/learn) and allow them to recall, retrieve that information from memory and to use that information at a later time in the same or similar situation (i.e., transfer).

Psychologists believe that the number sense in humans can be differentiated into the approximate number system, a system that supports the estimation of the magnitude, and the parallel individuation system, which allows the tracking of individual objects, typically for quantities below 4.

Test reliability. Reliability refers to how dependably or consistently a test measures a characteristic. If a person takes the test again, will he or she get a similar test score, or a much different score? A test that yields similar scores for a person who repeats the test is said to measure a characteristic reliably.

In one version of this task, used by Wynn, the trial structure of Give-N is titrated, such that if a child responds correctly to a request (e.g., giving exactly 2 objects when asked for two), they are then tested with the next largest number (e.g., three), whereas if they fail they are tested on a smaller number.

The Give-a-Number task has become a gold standard of children's number word comprehension in developmental psychology. Recently, researchers have begun to use the task as a predictor of other developmental milestones.

A test is said to be reliable if it yields similar results in repeated administrations when the attribute being measured is believed not to have changed in the interval between measurements, even though the test may be administered by different people and alternative forms of the test are used.

A reliability score is a calculated value between 0 and 100 that represents how reliable a particular service is.
