54
what are the 4 steps in assessment process
1. determine the purpose of assessment
2. select appropriate instruments
3. collect and treat data
4. report/interpret results
55
what do you do when determining the purpose
here, as a professional you have to keep in mind the scope of the assessment process undertaken
56
what is an informal (qualitative) tool
a questionnaire
57
what is a formal tool
movement assessment
| - purpose: to identify the nature and the degree of movement impairment
58
how to select an appropriate instrument

to screen [determine potential]
diagnosis [presence/degree of a problem]
place [ treatment/instruction]
aid in research [sampling/baseline]
determine progress [intervention]
to compare [against the norm/criteria]
```
63
who wrote the nature and control of postural adaptations of boys with and without developmental coordination disorder
Eryk Przysucha
Jane Taylor
Douglas Weber
64
a school- based movement program for children with motor learning difficulty
to determine progress (interventions)
65
what are the three compare against criteria
- persons score compared to desired level of mastery
- leads to 'yes/no' and 'pass/fail' conclusions
- fails to account for even subtle changes in different constraints and does not reveal adaptive behaviour
66
what is also known as: accuracy, consistency and stability
reliability
67
reliability is the degree to which:[3]
- scores are consistent or repeatable
- observed score is free of random/systematic measurement error
- observed score matches the true score
68
what is the classical true scare theory
measurement theory attempting to estimate to the degree to which a particular test or a score allows to infer one's true capability
69
observed score X= _______ + ________
true score (tau) + Error (E)
70
what is the main assumption of the classical true-score theory
- what we get (score) may not reflect the reality
- true score can never be observed directly, but it can be estimated from the observed score
- the smaller the error the closer we get at tapping (making inferences) about the reality
71
how to estimate true score
randomly sample multiple observations from a pop. then the long run average of all observed scores will equal to the mean of pop.
consequently the true score is defined as the long run average of all the observed scores
72
what is it called when you have someone re-examined over and over again will introduce____
learning effect
73
can we estimate the true score from the observed score?
if you find out (estimate) the reliability of the test, and it turns out that it is high, then you can be confident that the score you get (observed score) resembles closely the true score/ability of the person (tau)
if error is low
74

reliability
75
what is the test-retest reliability
used to assess the consistency of a measure from one time to another also referred to as STABILITY
