Week 3 Lecture 2 Flashcards
Form Quality and Popular
FQ
Form Quality
a function of two different but related response features
Fit
How well the object matches the features
Frequency
How often the object is spontaneously mentioned
FA
Form Accuracy
Fit is determined by Form Accuracy ratings
5 point scale FQ
1 = No. I can’t see it at all. Clearly, it’s a distortion.
2 = Not really. I don’t really see that…
3 = A little. If I work at it, I can sort of see that.
4 = Yes. I can see that. It matches the blot pretty well.
5 = Definitely… it looks exactly or almost exactly like that.
Frequency Tables
Least weight: Objects not reported in any samples
Modest weight: Objects reported >= 1.5% in 1 sample
Most weight: Objects reported >= 1.5% in 2+ samples
Form Quality FQ Codes
o = Ordinary
u = Unusual
- = Minus
n = None
FQo
responses are both relatively accurate and common
FQu
responses are less commonly reported
typically fit the location less accurately, but they are not grossly inconsistent with blot contours
FQ-
responses are infrequent and also inaccurate, distorted, or arbitrary
Determining FQ is not simply an intuitive process….
The examiner must refer to the Form Quality Tables to determine the appropriate FQ for a response
What if the response is not in the FQ tables?
then extrapolate from like shapes and like areas found in the FQ Tables
All FQ extrapolations must…
share shape and spatial orientation
Terminology for FQ
Tabled = found in FQ tables
Extrapolated = good guidance or rationale for coding
Examiner Judgement = basically no guidance from FQ tables
Mean ratings assigned Fit/FA to Form Quality tables
FA- ≤ 2.4 “Not really. I don’t really see that…”
FAu = 2.5 - 3.4 “A little. If I work at it, I can sort of see that.”
FAo ≥ 3.5 “Yes. I can see that. It matches … pretty well.”
Extrapolation - multiple responses
Which are the important objects
follow the same procedure as a single
assign total response to the lowest FQ
P
Popular
Objects seen most often
How many P responses
13 from the CS Exner
What do all P involve
H, H-like, A content
P involves the ability to…
recognize what most other people see easily
