Document Summary
This week we"re talking about assessment procedures. Slide 2 reliability and validity in assessment. **two terms to know for exam: reliability and validity: there are different kinds of each. ***reliability: the consistency of measurement: when you give a measure is it consistently measuring the same thing, different kinds of reliability (all of which are impt to know, know their definitions in textbook well) If they get treated for it, obviously the results won"t be the same the next time they take a depression test. *test-retest reliability wouldn"t be important in this context. Alternate-form reliability: when you administer a test, you want to provide a different form of that test in the future. Internal consistency reliability: all the items on a test measure the same thing: ex: if you administer a depression test, all of the questions should relate to and measure depression.
