However, administering the full set of the 36-item CPM can be burdensome for young participants, hindering its practicality in large-scale studies and reducing research efficiency. In the current study, a short form of the CPM was developed based on a sample of preschoolers (n =336, mean age = 5.8 years) using penalised regression, a machine learning approach that allows for variable selection. The resulting 12-item CPM short form demonstrated a very strong correlation with the total score of the 36-item full form (r = .94). Further investigations into the short form's item stability, content validity, and concurrent validity collectively supported its psychometric properties asa reliable and valid alternative to the full form. The significance of the CPM short form is also discussed.  \nK E Y WO R D S  \ndevelopmental research, fluid intelligence, general cognitive ability, Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices, short form, young children  \nBACKGROUND  \nRaven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM) is a widely used assessment tool in developmental and educational research, particularly in studies involving young children. It is part of the Raven's Progressive Matrices series, which also includes the Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) for the general population and the Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) for individuals with higher cognitive abilities (Raven  \nThis is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.  \n© 2025 The Author(s).

Collectively, this series of tests was designed to evaluate nonverbal and analogical reasoning skills, also referred to as tests of “observation and clear thinking” (Raven et al., 1998, p. G57). In research with young children, the CPM is commonly used as a proxy measure for constructs such as fluid intelligence (Memisevic et al., 2023; Ouyang et al., 2023), nonverbal reasoning (Alhamdan et al., 2023; Ng et al., 2021), and general cognitive ability (Carvalho et al., 2022; Gofer-Levi et al., 2014). The CPM consists of 36 items, which are divided into three 12-item sets (A, Ab, and B). Since the CPMis language-independent, it can be used to test a wide range of populations, including young children, individuals with intellectual impair","cbCaijo6hyYSIZ8q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijo6hyYSIZ8q","pdf",455179,16,"English","# Abstract\n# Background\n## Raven's CPM and its role\n## Rationale for developing a short form\n# Statement of contribution\n## What is already known\n## What the current study adds\n# Methods (implied by abstract)\n## Sample and item selection approach\n# Results (implied by abstract)\n## Correlation with full form\n## Psychometric validation aspects\n# Significance","[{\"question\":\"Why is a short form of the Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices needed for young children?\",\"answer\":\"The full 36-item CPM can be time-consuming and burdensome, which may exceed young children's attention span and reduce motivation, weakening assessment validity and limiting large-scale study efficiency.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the 12-item CPM short form developed in this study?\",\"answer\":\"A sample of preschoolers (n=336, mean age 5.8 years) was used, and penalised regression (a machine learning approach for variable selection) identified items to form the 12-item short version.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the short form perform compared with the full 36-item CPM?\",\"answer\":\"The 12-item short form correlates very strongly with the total score of the full form (r=.94).
