What is validity? What are the three main types of validity evidence? (Chapter 5)

What steps are used in carrying out cognitive-behavioral assessments?

, step 1: identify critical behavior
step 2: determine whether critical behaviors are excesses or deficits
step 3: obtain a baseline
step 4: if excesses, attempt to decrease frequency, duration, or intensity of
behaviors; if deficits, attempt to increase behaviors
What reading level is required for both the MMPI and MMPI-II?

MMPI: 6th grade reading level
MMPI-2: 8th grade reading level
What types of patients are clinical neuropsychologists most likely to see? What type
of assessment are they most likely to complete?

Types of patients in order of most seen to least seen: Rehab, Neurological,
Psychiatric, Learning Disability, Forensic, and dementia
What is cross validation?

, What is grade inflation? How does it affect current college admissions procedures?

- The phenomenon of rising average college grades despite declines in
average ACT scores
- Grad schools frequently complain that grades no longer predict
scholastic ability well, which led to a corresponding restriction in the range
of grades
What is the Fear Survey Schedule and what is it used for?
Give this one a try later!
- items are typically related to situations that involve avoidance and fear
behaviors
- subjects rate each item according to the degree to which they experience
that particular fear
- attempts to identify those situations and aim treatment at helping people
deal with these situations, reducing fear
- Oldest and most researched cognitive-behavioral self-report procedure
- Different versions have between 50 and 122 items, with a 5- or 7-point
Likert scale
- Different versions for different age groups and cross-cultural studies have
been done
Be able to differentiate between the mean, median, and mode (Chapter 2).

Mean: the sum of all values divided by the total number of values
Median: a general term for a set of values or measurements located at or
