Coding Flashcards
What materials will you need?
Administration and scoring manual, record form, response booklet 1, #2 pencil without eraser, stopwatch, and coding scoring template.
Where do you start?
Ages 6-7: Form A demonstration items, Sample Items, then test items.
Ages 8-16: For B demonstration items, sample items, then test items.
What is the discontinue criteria?
Discontinue after 120 seconds (2 minutes)
Describe timing rules.
Accurate timing is essential. Begin timing after saying the last word of instruction. Stop timing when child completes all items or the time limit expires.
What are the scoring guidelines?
If child completes all test items before time limit expires, stop timing and record the students time in seconds. If child does not complete all test items within time limit, record the time as 120 seconds.
How do you score rotated symbols?
A symbol is judged as rotated if the child’s drawing more than 90 degrees rotated in either direction. Do not score rotated symbols as correct.
What happens if a child realizes they made a mistake and corrects?
Score 1 point if the child spontaneously draws the correct symbol next to or on top of the incorrect response.
Define the total raw score.
Number of correctly drawn symbols completed in 120 seconds.
What is the max score?
Max coding A total raw score is 75 points. Max coding B total raw score is 117 points.
What is the Coding Rotation Errors (CDre) raw score?
Obtained by summing the total number of symbols judged as rotated. Max Coding A rotation errors raw score: 60. Max coding B Rotation Errors raw score: 104
