LECTURE 3 Flashcards
one way repeated measures test
1 group over 2+ time periods
2 groups (exp and control) post-tested after intervention
post test only randomized group
post test only nonrandomized group
factorial fully independent
2 or more independent groups
2 or more independent variables
*diff participants in each cell
factorial fully repeated
2 or more independent variables
subjects participate in each cell!
factorial mixed
2+IV, with or without randomization
groups move through repeated conditions (time)
crossover with or without randomization
groups get tested after intervention…then they switch! (one group gets placebo, other intervention)
measurement theory
psychometrics!
foundation for evaluating tests
reliability and validity are the most fundamental measurement theory concepts
any study investigating reliability or validity of clinical and research measures is called…
methodological study!
variables like cognition, pain, coordination…must be specifically defined. This is called
operational definition
MDC
minimally detectable change (amount of change in instrument beyond error)
MCID
minimal clinically important difference
amount of change in instrument resulting in clinically relevant change to patient
consistency or degree of association between two variables is called
reliability
*high if there is relative/actual agreement btwn two variables
accuracy/degree of measuring concept that is intended to measure
validity
*can be reliable but not valid, but not valid without being reliable
test-retest reliablity
can instrument be consistent?
can patient be consistent?
reliability between 2 ratings measures…
do they vary in similar way? (10, 20, 30 vs 100, 200, 300 = reliable/good co-variation
agreement is…
if 2+ ratings, do scores agree/match exactly?
*both reliability/agreement measure REPRODUCIBILITY
parallel forms reliability
equivalent forms!
questions are divided into 2 equal sets.
Two sets of questions are given to the same people. SATs are made this way
split-half reliability
questions split into two sets and BOTH sets given to same people
