36
Q

What’s reliability?

A

Consistency of scores across different

occasions of measurements or different examiners, or of items within the instrument.

37
Q

Whats validity?

A

determination of whether a measurement
actually measures what it purports to measure; how well
does it measure what it was designed to measure.

38
Q

What is construct validity?

A

the consistency to which a construct (concept)
is actually measured (PEDI: construct- change in functional
behaviors is age related)

39
Q

What’s content validity?

A

the accuracy with which an instrument

measures the factors under study; the instrument measures what it is supposed to measure

40
Q

What is concurrent validity?

child has mastered, those currently developing, and those not
in the child’s repertoire

48
Q

How do you score a Peabody/ PDMS?

A

Item scoring: specified on score sheet

—“0”: child cannot or will not attempt item, or attempt
does not show that skill is emerging
— “1”: performance shows clear resemblance to item
criterion but doesn’t fully meet criterion
—“2”: child performs item according to specified
criterion in the normal, typical way

49

■ 1 = initiates, less than 10% completion
■ 2=partially completes (10-100%)
■ 3= 100% completion
