25
Ratio?

26
`Weights?
Assigned to various categories (developmental sentence scoring)
27
Normative scores?
Derived from comparing test responses/raw scores to test norm
28
Definition: Standardization
To develop standard or uniform test materials procedures to minimize variations in administrations and results.
29
Definition: Norm
The average, normal or standard for a group of individuals.
30
Definition: Normal (Distribution) Curve
A bell-shaped curve representing the theoretical distribution of an infinitely large number of scores with deviation occurring only be chance.
31
Definition: Norm-Referenced
Compares an individual's performance to the performances of a representative sample of his/her peers.
32
Definition: Normative Population
The entire group of individuals who exhibit a trait or characteristic of interest
33
Definition: Normative Sample
A subgroup of individuals chosen to be representatives of the normative population of interest
34
Definition: Representativeness
The extent to which a subgroup of individuals reflects the relevant characteristics in a larger population of interest.
35
Definition: Normal Curve
A theoretical curve derived mathematically to represent the normal (random) distribution of a trait, value or score.
36
Definition: Mean
The average of a set of scores, the sum of the scores divided by the number of scores in a set, one measure of central tendency.
37
Definition: Median
The scores that divides the top 50% from the bottom 50% in a distribution of scores, one measure of central tendency
38
Definition: Mode
The most frequently occurring score or value in a distribution of scores, a measure a central tendency
39
Definition: Range
The difference in score values between the highest and lowest values of distributions, a measure of dispersion or variability
40
Definition: Standard Deviation
A measure for expressing the amount of dispersion or variability in a set of scores with reference tot he mean. Smaller SD's=clustered scores (around mean) Larger SD's=more dispersed (farther from the mean)
41
Definition: Narrow View (of "normal")
A stat definition of normal based on the set of values that fall between the first SD above and below the mean
42
Definition: Broad View (of "normal)
A stat definition of normal based on the set of values that fall between the 2 SD above and below the mean.
43
Definition: Basal
The highest set of items that satisfies the specific sequence of the successful items
44
Definition: Basal Item
The first item in the basal sequence
45
Definition: Ceiling
The lowest set of items that satisfies the specific sequence of unsuccessful items
46
Definition: Ceiling Item
The last item in the ceiling sequence
47
Definition: Scatter
Those unsuccessful or error items which occur between the basal and ceiling item.
48
Definition: Raw Score
The original unconverted score obtained on a test; the number of items, credits, or points obtained on items administered.
49
Definition: Derived Score
The normalized scare derived by comparing the raw score to the score used to represent the distribution of performances by the standardization sample.
50
Definition: Converted Score
A normalized score expressed in its equivalent form on another scale; EX) a T-score having been converted from the equivalent deviation quotient.
51
Definition: Equivalent Score
Derived scores expressed as the chronological age or grade placement of that group for whom an obtained score was typical; equivalent scores are based only on the means obtained by each of the peer groups included in the standardization sample. EX) a raw score resulting in an age-equivalent score of 5 years means that raw score was the typical (mean) score for 5 year olds included in the sample, regardless of how old the test subject was
52
Definition: Percentile
Scores expressed as a point in the distribution of scores below which the given percent of score fall. EX) a score at the 70 percentile represents a score which is better than 70% of the scores obtained by the peer group in the standardization sample.
53
Definition: Standard Scores
A general term referring to transformed or normalized scores used to compare an individual to his/her peers.

Definition: Z-Scores
Standard score which has a mean of 0 and a SD of 1

58
Definition: Scaled Scores
Scores expressed using arbitrary value ranges representing a standard score distribution with a set men and SD.

Definition: Observed Score:
The actual obtained score derived from the subject's performance on a given measure.
61
Definition: Standard error of measurement
Measure of variability evident in the test scores over re-administrations of a test instrument to subgroups of the standardization sample. Smaller SEM's indicate lesser variability over re-administration Larger SEM's indicate greater variability over re-administration
62
Definition: Confidence interval (Band)
The stat derived range of probable scores in which the hypothetical true score for a subject might be expected to fall; based on the variability evidenced by the standardization sample
63
Definition: Validity
``` The extent to which an instrument measures which it claims to measure. Determined in various ways: Construct Content Face Criterion Predictive ```
64
Definition: Construct
The extent to which the items in the test represent the theoretical construct being measured; requires expert analysis to compare the construct tot he items used to measure it
65
Definition: Content
The extent to which an expert determines that the items in a test represent the skill being measured
66
