__________ = Assessments designed to allow for comparison among children at various ages for performance on specific skills.
Standardized/formal assessments (pg. 194)
_____= the extent to which a test yields consistent scores.
reliability (pg. 194)
_______= the consistency of scores obtained on a measure administered under similar conditions across examiners.
inter-rate reliability (pg. 194)
_______ = the consistency of scores obtained on a measure across time under similar conditions.
test-retest reliability (pg. 194)
______ = the consistency of scores or results across items within a measure.
internal consistency reliability (pg. 194)
______= the extent to which a test measures what it is designed to measure.
validity (pg. 194)
______= property of a test in which observers agree superficially that it appears to measure what it is designed to measure.
face validity (pg. 194)
______= property of a test in which statistical tests confirm that it measures all facets of a given construct/topic.
conent validity (pg. 194)
______= property of a test in which statistical tests confirm that the measure correlates with the underlying theoretical construct that it is designed to measure.
construct validity (pg. 194)
_____= property of a test in which statistical tests confirm that a measure is accurate b/c it correlates w/ a valid measure of the same construct type.
criterion-related validity (pg. 194)
_____= a type of criterion-related validity used to determine extent to which a measure “predicts” later performance on related measure.
predictive validity (pg. 194)
______= extent to which a test accurately identifies children who have a language impairment.
sensitivity (pg. 195)
______ = extent to which a test accurately identifies children who have not been diagnosed as language impaired.
specificity (pg. 195)
____________= assessments designed to measure a specific linguistic skill, where no comparison is made between children.
criterion referenced assessments (pg. 195)
___________= assessments designed to measure the extent to which a child’s performance on a specific task may be modified or extended with contextual support.
dynamic assessent (pg. 195)
__________= assessments measure the extent to which a child’s communication disorder impacts daily living.
functional assessments (pg. 195)
________= assessments designed to measure the extent to which a child’s communication disorder impacts academic functioning, to select linguistic targets that may improve daily living and to monitor progress on skills over the course of instruction.
