Purpose of discriminative test
identifies children with developmental delay
Does discriminative, evaluative or predictive consist of screening tools or diagnostic evaluations determining the etiology of the problem?
Discriminative
Does discriminative, evaluative or predictive determine appropriate placement or services?
Discriminative
Does discriminative, evaluative or predictive assess current skill level and document change over time
evaluateive
Does discriminative, evaluative or predictive allow you to select effectiveness of intervention?
evaluative
Is discriminative, evaluative or predictive NORM referenced?
Discriminative: whether or not a problem exists
Is discriminative, evaluative or predictive CRITERION referenced?
Evaluative: determines appropriate plan and goals and measures change over time
what does test-retest tell you
reliability in a test over a period of time (the other kind of reliability is inter-rater)
what is inter-rater reliability
the degree to which DIFFERENT raters obtain the same score
construct, concurrent and predictive are all parts of psychometric property?
validity
what is construct validity
does the test measure what it claims to measure
what is concurrent validity
the score correlates with that of another valid test that is administered at the same tim
what is predictive validity
predicting the performance on a future measure (two measures are taken at different times)f
what does a highly sensitive test find in terms of positives and negatives
true positives
avoid false negatives
good at ruling out
what does a highly specific test find in terms of positives and negatives?
avoids false positives
is specificity or sensitivity probably a better measure for making sure you don’t miss someone who needed intervention?
Sensitivity: avoiding false negatives and therefore not missing someone who needed PT
what kind of things in PT would you want to be super specific about?
fractures, surgical decision making
want to avoid false positives
detectors at airports are specific or sensitive?
Sensitive: rules out, if you go through and it doesn’t beep you can be pretty certain nothing is on them
For PT are we more concerned with specificity or sensitivity?
sensitivity: avoiding false negatives, making sure we’re getting to everyone we should
Norm referenced you compare against what?
you compare against other children in a given population (whether that is a “normal” child or a disordered population)
Criterion referenced you compare against what?
you compare against the child to themselves down the road.
how can you expect to administer a norm referenced test?
standardized items
rules to follow
you get a booklet
norm referenced test is discriminative or evaluative?
discriminative
criterion referenced test is discriminative or evluative?
evaluative
