-Process of using psychological tests, clinical
interviews, behavioral observations, and other
Psychological Assessment
assessment tools to gather data on an individual's
cognitive, social, and behavioral functioning for the
purpose of description, classification, prediction, and
intervention
-Level A: may be administered and interpreted by a non-
psychologist
Examiner Qualifications -Level B: require some technical knowledge of test
construction and use, as well as completion of
supporting educational and psychological subjects
-Level C: should be administered only by individuals
with at least an MA in psychology and at least one year
of supervised experience under a psychologist
-Reliability: degree to which test
scores are free from the effects
Reliability vs Validity
of measurement error
Validity: degree to which a test
measures what it was designed
to measure
-The examinee's responses, the apparatus, and the
scoring have been fixed so the scores collected at
different times and places are fully comparable; any
Standardization
deviations from standardized administration and
scoring may result in invalid conclusions
-The test has been administered under standard
conditions to a representative sample for the purpose
of establishing norms; the greater the discrepancy
between the examinee and the norm group, the less
/ 1/39
,10/4/25, 8:41 PM EPPP Assessment
likely the test results will be valid
-Norm-Referenced: comparison between an examinee's
scores and the scores of the norm group; percentile
ranks, standard scores
Types of Scoring
-Criterion-Referenced: domain or content referenced;
scores based on what the examinee can do or knows
with regard to clearly defined content; percent correct
-Self-Referenced: ipsative; intra-individual comparison
of scores; relative strengths or weaknesses
-Focuses on overt and covert behaviors that occur in
specific circumstances
Behavioral Assessment
-May utilize behavioral interviews, observation,
cognitive assessment, or psychophysiological measures
-Functional behavioral assessment (FBA): determines
the purpose of a behavior by identifying antecedents
and consequences
-Interactive approach and deliberate deviation from
standardized procedures to obtain additional
information about the examinee
-Associated with educational assessment
Dynamic Assessment
-Testing the limits: involves providing examinees with
additional cues, suggestions, or feedback; ordinarily
done after standardized administration
-Graduated prompting: giving the examinee a series of
verbal prompts that are graduated in terms of difficulty
level
-Test-teach-retest: following the initial assessment
with an intervention designed to modify the
examinee's performance, then re-assessing
/ 2/39
,10/4/25, 8:41 PM EPPP Assessment
-Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT): computer tailors
the test to an individual examinee by choosing
Computer-Assisted subsequent items based on previous answers
Assessment
-Increases precision and efficacy, as all examinees are
tested with the same degree of reliability and reduced
testing time
-Computer-based interpretations should not be used to replaced
clinical judgement
-Actuarial: statistical; based on empirically validated
relationship between test results and specific criteria
-Clinical: based on the decision-maker's intuition,
Actuarial vs Clinical
Predictions experience, and knowledge; clinical judgement
-Research has found that actuarial method alone is
more accurate than clinical judgement alone
-Interviews can be used to obtain reliable and valid data from
children as young as 6
Assessing Children -Goals include establishing rapport and maintaining the
child's cooperation, and can be accomplished by using
descriptive statements, reflections, and open-ended
questions; providing labeled praise; and avoiding
critical statements and leading questions
-Considerations include acculturation, identity, language
proficiency, availability of appropriate norms, cultural
Assessing Members of equivalence of content measured by the test, and
Culturally Diverse Populations availability of more culturally appropriate alternatives
-There are no truly culture-fair or culture-free tests
-Research has found no consistent effect of match or
mismatch between examiner and examinee in terms of
race, ethnicity, or culture
-One of the most common data collection methods
Self-Report -Advantages include quick production and scoring, and low cost
-Disadvantages can include weaker reliability and validity
-Advantages include increased information about the client
Multi-Informant Report
-Disadvantages can include inconsistency in reports across
various informants
/ 3/39
, 10/4/25, 8:41 PM EPPP Assessment
-Used to observe physiological functions which can
often describe the emotional state of an individual
-Advantages include ability to analyze momentary
Psychophysiological Measures
experiences without intervening in the interaction
while it occurs
-Disadvantages can include monetary expense and that
not every momentary experience may be important
