28
performance compared to a presented group/population (usually a bell-curve) ---often curved yearly
standardized
29
IQ increasing in pops over time, but may stabilize or decline --> foods, fam, expansion of edu programs [in terms of testing]
Flynn Effect
30
if scores of half test, new test, or retest are roughly similar
reliable
31
extent to which the test actually measures what it is supposed to
valid
32
ability to measure future learning --- fades w/ age when the populations narrow (college students already smart and motivated)
predictive validity
