Pediatric Assessment/Atypical Development Flashcards
Purpose of discriminative test
identifies children with developmental delay
Does discriminative, evaluative or predictive consist of screening tools or diagnostic evaluations determining the etiology of the problem?
Discriminative
Does discriminative, evaluative or predictive determine appropriate placement or services?
Discriminative
Does discriminative, evaluative or predictive assess current skill level and document change over time
evaluateive
Does discriminative, evaluative or predictive allow you to select effectiveness of intervention?
evaluative
Is discriminative, evaluative or predictive NORM referenced?
Discriminative: whether or not a problem exists
Is discriminative, evaluative or predictive CRITERION referenced?
Evaluative: determines appropriate plan and goals and measures change over time
what does test-retest tell you
reliability in a test over a period of time (the other kind of reliability is inter-rater)
what is inter-rater reliability
the degree to which DIFFERENT raters obtain the same score
construct, concurrent and predictive are all parts of psychometric property?
validity
what is construct validity
does the test measure what it claims to measure
what is concurrent validity
the score correlates with that of another valid test that is administered at the same tim
what is predictive validity
predicting the performance on a future measure (two measures are taken at different times)f
what does a highly sensitive test find in terms of positives and negatives
true positives
avoid false negatives
good at ruling out
what does a highly specific test find in terms of positives and negatives?
avoids false positives
is specificity or sensitivity probably a better measure for making sure you don’t miss someone who needed intervention?
Sensitivity: avoiding false negatives and therefore not missing someone who needed PT
what kind of things in PT would you want to be super specific about?
fractures, surgical decision making
want to avoid false positives
detectors at airports are specific or sensitive?
Sensitive: rules out, if you go through and it doesn’t beep you can be pretty certain nothing is on them
For PT are we more concerned with specificity or sensitivity?
sensitivity: avoiding false negatives, making sure we’re getting to everyone we should
Norm referenced you compare against what?
you compare against other children in a given population (whether that is a “normal” child or a disordered population)
Criterion referenced you compare against what?
you compare against the child to themselves down the road.
how can you expect to administer a norm referenced test?
standardized items
rules to follow
you get a booklet
norm referenced test is discriminative or evaluative?
discriminative
criterion referenced test is discriminative or evluative?
evaluative
can you provide age equivalent values for a norm or criterion referenced test?
norm referenced
what is the big thing criterion referenced test does?
look at changes within an individual child overtime
which test can you NOT compare to a group
criterion referenced
PDMS2 is criterion or norm referenced?
norm
BOT2 is criterion or norm referenced?
norm
GMFM is criterion or norm referenced
criterion
If you’re doing a norm referenced test can you use the parent saying “yes ive seen them do that before?
no! Its super standardized you have to see them do it
criterion or norm referenced tests are you thinking about% nd SD?
norm referenced bc these are all about comparing performance to others
50% correlates to what on a standard bell curve?
the mean
Within how many SD’s of the mean is generally considered “normal”
= or - 2 SD
if a kid is within 2 SD of normal are they going to qualify for therapy?
no they are considered normal
below 2SD will qualify for therapy
percentile rank gives what information?
relative position within normative samples and rate of change over time
what does it mean if percentile rank decreaes?
they are not progressing at the same rate their peers are
Standard scores vs age equivalent?
standard score doesn’t have units
what is a scaled score?
who is it good for?
scaled score: performance as it relates to the ENTIRE RANGE of scores on the test
good for individuals <1 percentile of the measure. It will show performance overtime
What is age equivalents?
age which a score obtained correlates with tehe AVERAGE performance
criterion referenced scoring will not have what two kinds of data associated it
age equivalents, percentile ranks
age equivalents and percentile ranks can be found for criterion or norm referenced tests?
norm referenced
true or false: only doing a standardized assessment is a good examination
FALSE: standardized testing should only be a part of your full exam and eval
What is the point of neonate tests?
you want to catch it early and intervene
what are the two tests we talked about for infants/toddlers?
AIMS
PDMS2 (goes all the way until 6 years old)
what are the three school age tests we talked about?
BOT2
GMFM
PDMS2 (done up until six)
what is the one participation measure we talked about
CAPE/PAC
is AIMS criterion or noms referenced?
norms referenced
is AIMS elicited or observational?
observational
validated age range for AIMS
best age range?
birth to 18 months
3-9 months
what does AIMS do in the discriminative category
identifies gross motor delay
describe aims
48 GROSS motor skills
4 positions: supine, prone, sitting, standing
OBSERVE
how long does AIMS take?
can you continue in another session if you don’t finish in the first?
20-30 minutes
can complete across sessions if they’re less than one week apart
infants should be naked or in diaper
Observation of spontaneous movement
can present toys, auditory prompts etc
Items can be completed in any sequence
Which test is this?
AIMS
AIMS
number of trails per task
unilateral or bilateral?
unlimited number of trials
doesn’t look at laterality, just if they can do it
