Q

Reliability

A

Degree to which instrument produces consistent repeatable results . If a test is reliable, then most of the variation in scores among individuals will be due to true differences in ability

Q

Sensitivity

A

Ability of the instrument to detect dysfunction/abnormality.
A test with high sensitivity will have few false negative scores

16
Q

Specificity

A

Ability of the test to correctly identify those who do not have the disorder
A test with high specificity will have few false positive scores

17
Q

Norm referenced tests

A

compares individual performance against group

maximizes differences among individuals

18
Q

Criterion referenced tests

A

compares performance against a described standard

discriminates between successive performances of one individual

19
Q

Z-score values

A
Mean = 0 
SD = 1
20
Q

T-score values

A
Mean = 50
SD = 10
21
Q

Standard Error of Measurement (SEM)

A

Expected range of error for the test score

22
Q

Denver II

A

screening tool, identifies children 2 weeks - 6 years at risk for developmental delays
assesses gross/fine motor, language and personal-social

23
Q

ASQ-3

A

Ages and stages questionnaire, filled out by parent - identifies areas of concern.
Communication, gross/fine motor, problem solving, personal/social
birth-66 mo

24
Q

What are motor tests used for?

A

to diagnose, to identify atypical development, to determine eligibility for services, usually norm-referenced- done once or infrequently

25
Q

What are some motor tests?

A

Bayley Scales of infant/toddler development III, Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, BOT 2, AIMS, TIMP, TIMPSI

26
Q
