Reliability

Question 1

refers to the consistency of test scores obtained by the same persons when they are re-examined with the same test on different occasions

Answer 1

Reliability

Question 2

The extent to which a score or measure is free from measurement error. Theoretically, it is the ratio of true score variance to observed score variance

Answer 2

Reliability

Question 3

Indicates the extent to which individual differences in test scores are attributable to TRUE DIFFERENCES in the characteristic under consideration, and the extent to which they are attributable to CHANCE ERRORS

Answer 3

Test Reliability

Question 4

Represents any condition that is irrelevant to the purpose of the test.

Answer 4

Error Variance

Question 5

Sources of Error Variance

Answer 5

• Test Construction
• Test Administration
• Test Scoring & Interpretation

Question 6

This model considers the problems created by using a limited number of items to represent a larger and more complicated construct.

Answer 6

Domain Sampling Model

Question 7

the correlation between the scores obtained by the same persons on the two administrations of the test

Answer 7

reliability coefficient

Question 8

Repeating the identical test on a second occasion

Answer 8

Test-Retest Reliability

Question 9

Occurs when the first testing session influences scores from the second session

Answer 9

Carryover Effect

Question 10

When a test is given a second time, test takers score better because they have sharpened their skills by having taken the test the first time

Answer 10

Practice Effect

Question 11

An alternative to test-retest reliability, it makes use of alternate or parallel forms of the test.

Answer 11

Alternate Form Reliability

Question 12

A test is given and divided into halves that are scored separately. The results of one half of the test are then compared with the results of the other.

Answer 12

Split-Half Reliability
