Q

Item Gradient

A

The ratio of item raw score to standard scores or the number of raw score points required to earn 1 standard score point

17
Q

Standard Deviation

A

Tells you how much scores vary or deviate from the mean

18
Q

Reliability

A

the consistency of a test across time or administrators

19
Q

Validity

A

whether or not the test measures accurately what is is designed to measure

20
Q

The Five Theoretical Perspectives of Multimethod Assessment

A
  1. Developmental
  2. Normative-Developmental
  3. Cognitive-Behavioral
  4. Family Systems
  5. Eclectic - or combo of all
21
Q

Four Pillars of Assessment

A
  1. Norm-Referenced
  2. Interviews
  3. Behavioral Observations
  4. Information Assessment Procedures
22
Q

Norm-References Measures

A

Standardized measures based on a clearly defined group (norm group)

Q

Testing of Limits

A

-Interactive Assessments
-Process-oriented assessment
-dynamic assessment
-mediated learning
-instruction-oriented method
-graduated prompts method
-potential assessment

27
Q

Testing of Limits Procedures

A

Providing additional cures or aids

changing stimulus modality

eliminating time limits

cannot generate reliable standardized scores when testing the limits but can obtain valuable qualitative information.

28
Q

Multi-method assessment

A

Getting information from multiple sources, including demographic and background information educational records, medical info and previous evaluations would be an example.

29
Q
