Q

confounding/ extraneous variable

A

other factors that may impact the DV that isn’t the IV

so these need to be controlled

Q

distribution of data

A

frequency of data
histogram

17
Q

central tendincy

A

mean
median
mode

18
Q

variability

A

range
standard deviation

19
Q

characteristic of good measurement

A

concept measured is well defined
same answer when study same info
get different answers when change info
everyone knows what answer means

20
Q

observed score=

A

true score + error

21
Q

sytematic error

A

constant present
will cause bias

22
Q

random error

A

unpredictable
soroundings
instrument

23
Q

equipment errors

A

calibration
sensitivity
maintience
operation

24
Q

tester errors

A

competence
preperation
motivation
fatigue

25
Q

procedure error

A

position
handling
stabilisation
instructions

26
Q

patient error

A

recovery and deteroration
comprehension
familisation
environment
fatigue
pain

27
Q

how to reduce error

A

repeat
measure controlled
use calibrated conditions
know error of tool
use same person to measure

28
Q

reliability

A

degree measurements are free of error

29
Q

intra rater reliability

A

inidivdual rater measures

30
Q

inter rater reliability

A

between different measurears

31
Q

intra-subject

A

changes in subject from time to time

32
Q

test-retested reliability

A

assess conssitancy of measure from one time to another

33
Q

valid

A

does the assessment test what it set outs to measure

34
Q

norm reference

A

measurement frameworks based on the normal curve

35
Q

criterion reference

A

indivdual performance is evaluated with respect to a level of achivement

36
Q

ICC

A

agreement of a test
between 0-1
1- perfect
0- no agreement
