psychometric procedures correct answers (normalist philosophy) based on average performance
level that society considers normal, standardized psychometric/norm-referenced tests
descriptive procedures correct answers (neutralist philosophy) criterion-referenced approach,
compares child's present to past performance, descriptive manner
obtain a standard and representative sample of behavior correct answers what are the primary
uses of standardized testing?
do not account for complexity of language, don't easily accommodate differences, instruments
vary widely correct answers what are some problems with the use of test scores?
using scores as summary of child's performance, inappropriate norms and assumptions based on
test results, specific test items to plan intervention goals, use tests to assess therapy progress
correct answers what are the common misuses of norm-referenced tests and test scores?
standardized correct answers consistent manner which test items are presented and child's
responses consequated
normed correct answers standardized test has been given to group of children that supposedly
represent all children for who test was designed
reliability correct answers repeatability of measurement
internal consistency correct answers degree of relationship among items and overall test
inter-judge reliability correct answers probability of two judges scoring same behavior in same
manner
validity correct answers effectiveness of test in representing/describing/predicting attribute of
interest
criterion, content, construct correct answers what are the different types of validity?
criterion correct answers effectiveness/accuracy which measure predicts success
content correct answers faithfulness which sample/measure represents some attribute/behavior
construct correct answers accuracy which extent to measure describes or measures some
trait/construct
productivity, intelligibility, representativeness, reactivity correct answers what are the threats to
validity when collecting language samples?
, productivity correct answers amount of language produced (open ended questions; employ
variety of elicitation tasks)
intelligibility correct answers amount of language understood (SLP takes control over content -
shared knowledge base can support intelligibility)
representativeness correct answers how typical is this sample? (allow child to establish
topic/activity; collect data in variety of settings w/ variety of partners)
reactivity correct answers response of child to differing stimuli (remain flexible to shift between
context and content)
S = best description of overall functioning, W = level of expertise needed, time factor,
reliability/validity of sample correct answers what are the strengths/weaknesses of descriptive
approaches?
questionnaire/interview/referral, observation, formal testing, conversational language sampling
correct answers what are the steps included in the integrated approach to assessment?
approximately 1/3 children are english speakers correct answers with respect to culturally and
linguistically diverse populations, how have the demographics changed in the U.S.?
have to make sure tests are normed correctly, have to find therapy that best fits bilingual students
correct answers how have diverse population changes impacted speech-language pathologists in
their service delivery?
both english and native language b/c they are most likely to have disorder correct answers in the
continuum of english proficiency, which population is most important to SLPs?
culture correct answers shared framework of meanings which population shapes its way of life
distinguish disorder from difference correct answers what is the primary role of the SLP in
serving children who are CLD?
each encounter subject to cultural rules, perform differently b/c of unique cultural/linguistic
backgrounds, different modes/functions of communication, cultural norms should be used for
evaluating behavior, sources of conflict identified prior to interaction, learning about culture is
ongoing. correct answers what factors should you consider when interacting with individuals
from other cultures?
conducted in native language, establish language dominance/most appropriate language for
intervention. correct answers what is the function of your language assessments?
differentiate difficulties from experiental/cultural factors vs those related to LI. correct answers
what is your goal when overcoming bias in assessment?
