Q

What are the steps in determining diagnoses and treatment for a client?

A

A

sensitivity

20
Q

the number of times a non-event is predicted across cases compared with the total number of times no event occurred

A

specificity

21
Q

What are the steps in developing a treatment plan?

A
  1. determine which treatments will be the most effective
  2. Identify target problems
  3. set treatment goals
  4. set strategies to target goals
22
Q

Why is treatment monitoring important?

A

allows for changes in plan if necessary, keeping clinent on task, and monitoring progression

23
Q

a researcher who demonstrated that treatment monitoring can change treatment outcome

A

Micheal Lambert

24
Q

indicators for how well the treatment is progressing

A

outcome data

25
Q

What can outcome data be used for?

A

indicator for how well a system or care centre is functioning, if any changes occur from the intervention, evidence for usefulness in other clients, and comparison with other clients on progress

26
Q

an evaluative device or procedure that can take a snap shot of behaviour in a specific domain and be evaluated in a standardized process

A

test

27
Q

What is required of all tests?

A

generate statements about behaviour and psychological functioning, and is accurate and valid. the test should not rely on clinical judgement only

28
Q

Why is it important that a psychological test be defined?

A

frequently used in legal and quasi-legal procedures like disability pension or removing a child from a home

29
Q

What is the difference between assessment and testing

A

assessment is the integration of life story with clinical information, while testing is finding a score in a domain

30
Q

Who is most trained in testing and most likely to use them?

A

clinical psychologists at a doctoral level

31
Q

Why is children difficult to assess?

A

In the process of rapid change and development, rarely refer themselves, can’t always be the primary informant and they are very integrated with their contexts.

32
Q

Author of some of the most commonly used resources for assessment

A

Gary Groth-Marnat

33
Q

consistency across clinicians and testing occasions in the procedure used to administer and score a test

A

standardization

34
Q

all aspects of the test related to each other and the concept it’s trying to measure

A

internal consistency

35
Q

if the same person took the test twice it will produce the same results

A

test-retest reliability

36
Q

if the same results would be obtained if two people saw the same thing

A

inter-rater reliability

37
Q

other factors that effect reliability

A

standardization of stimuli, administration, and scoring

38
Q

the extent to which the test samples the type of behaviour that is relevant to the underlying psychological construct

A

evidence of content validity

38
Q

scores on the test are correlated with scores on tests that measure similar constructs

A

evidence of concurrent validity

39
Q

If the test predicts a relevant outcome

A

evidence of predictive validity

40
Q

the extent to which the test provides a pure measure of the construct that is minimally contaminated by other psychological constructs

A

evidence of discriminant validity

41
Q

the extent to which a measure adds to the prediction of a criterion above what can be predicted by other sources of data

A

evidence of incremental validity

42
Q

Why do psychological tests reference norms?

A

use standardized norms to reference scores of a test to the general population

43
Q

Why can test norms be inaccurate?

A

norm data is commonly gathered from research participants like undergraduate students, hospital inpatients and outpatients in a psychologic clinic might not represent the tested group

44
Q

What is one of the general issues that Groth-Marnat cites with psychological tests?

A

many fail to take into account the psychometric properties of tests or strength of research on tests
