_____________ is an adult learning strategy that is used to build
the capacity of a parent or colleague to improve existing
abilities, develop new skills, and gain a deeper understanding of
his or her practices for use in current and future situations.
Correct Answer coaching
1. A T score of 60 means Correct Answer one standard
deviation above the mean
1. Assessments that compare a child's performance with a
defined list of skills, often in a pass or fail method of recording
and no not have normalitve sample with standardized scores are
called- Correct Answer Criterion-referenced test
1. Assessments that have specific psychometric properties and
have been analyzed by statistic calculations such as means,
standard scores and percentiles comparing a normative sample
are called- Correct Answer Norm-referenced tests
1. Different raters using the same assessment tool on the same
child and achieve the same results indicates high
________________ Correct Answer inter-rater reliability
1. Test's ability to obtain a positive test when the condition
really exist (a true positive) is called Correct Answer
Sensitivity
1. The evaluation measurement/scores are consistent or stable on
an individual from time to time, place to place and evaluation to
, evaluation under the same testing conditions. This is called____
Correct Answer reliability
1. What type of movement would you expect to see upon
observation of a 4-year-old girl with athetoid/athotosis type
cerebral palsy (CP)? Correct Answer 1. Large sudden
fluctuations, "writhing" movements with poor midrange control
1. When a test measures what it says it measures, it is considered
to have Correct Answer vallidity
1. Which of the following is a measure of central tendency of
the population? Correct Answer mean
1. Why is the SEM- standard error of measurement a useful
statistic? Correct Answer It is used to calculate the expected
range of error for the test score of an individual
1. Your child tests 2 standard deviations below the mean on the
Peabody Fine Motor Assessment. Approximately what percent
of children are doing better than this child? Correct Answer 1.
98 %
A 5-year-old child is given a standardized test and receives a
raw score of 100. Therapy services are provided for 6 months.
On re-evaluation the child receives a raw score of 110 on the
same standardized test. The SEM of the test is 5.0. Using the
95% confidence interval, what is the potential range of scores
for this child for each testing session? What can be concluded
about the effect of the therapy? Correct Answer score of 100
range is 90-110
