Question 1
Question text
A cognitive test is translated from English to Afrikaans. The forward-
translation design is followed, and a group of bilingual experts will
compare the source and the target versions of the measure. Thereafter
the source version of the test will be administered to source-language
monolinguals and the target version to target-language monolinguals to
determine the equivalence of these versions.
Which of the following is a disadvantage of the forward-translation
design?
Evaluation of equivalence is done in the source language.
Test-takers and bilingual judges think about the items in the same
way.
Bilingual judges are equally familiar with the source and target
language/culture.
Experts may rely on insightful guesses to infer equivalence of
meaning.
