✓ Cognitive (content) and motor (logical) validity are measured

What is a Table of Specifications (TOS)?
✓ A chart used to provide qualitative evidence of content or logical
validity.
What is concurrent validity in the context of scores?
✓ The quantitative evidence of the validity of scores through correlation
of a set of scores with a criterion measure of the same skill/knowledge.
What is predictive validity?
✓ Evidence of whether or not a given score can be a good predictor of

✓ Examining construct validity ensures that measures of intangible
characteristics (stress, happiness, honesty) are clean and relevant. It is
examined through a systematic process of correlating your measure (x)
of the characteristic of interest with similar and dissimilar measures (y's).
Good construct validity is when correlation coefficients match
expectations (low when correlated with dissimilar measures and high
when correlated with similar measures).
What is the definition of internal consistency in the context of scores?
✓ The consistency of scores collected multiple times on the same day.
What does SEM stand for and what is it used for?
✓ SEM stands for Standard Error of Measurement and it is used for
quantitatively estimating measurement error.
What is the Spearman Brown Prophecy formula?
✓ The Spearman Brown Prophecy formula is used to predict how reliability
will be affected by a shortened/lengthened test.
What is a false negative?
✓ Incorrectly categorizing a master as a non-master.
