Document Summary

Lo(cid:859)s: describe the purpose of assessment, differentiate between terms related to assessment, describe features of an assessment, articulate what reliability and validity are, describe the levels of measurement. Discriminative: attempts to differentiate between two or more groups of people. Predictive: attempts to classify people into a set of predefined measurement categories for purpose of estimating prognosis. Evaluative: pertains to measurement of change in an individual or group over time.
