Q

What are the two effects of error?

A

Carry over and Practice effect

17
Q

The effect which the first administration of the test is greater than the second one that leads to inconsistency or gap of the test results

A

Carry over

18
Q

The effect which the second test result is high due to practice

A

Practice effect

19
Q

A method of parallel forms

A

Alternate forms of parallel

20
Q

What are the three methods of internal consistency?

A

Split half, KR20 Formula and Coefficient Alpha

21
Q

It is way which a long test is split into half which the first half of the result is compare to the second one.

A

Split half

22
Q

How to divide the items of the test?

A

Odd-even system

23
Q

It is a formula which used to have a correct system of splitting the long test which has the correlation of two halves.

A

Spearman-Brown Formula

24

What formula is this?

r = 2r/1-r

A

Spearman-Brown Formula

25
Q

A way of splitting which is used when has 2 unequal variance for non-dichotomous

A

Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha

26
Q

It is a method of test which calculates the reliability are dichotomous 0 or 1 or (right or wrong)

A

KR20 Formula

27

  2. Usually needed is a test with .70 - ,80
  3. If clinics, to the patient’s future greater than .95 is needed
34
Q

How to improve reliability?

A
  1. Increase the no. of items based on Sampling Domain Effect and the Pearson - Brown method
