    An approach to discovering a student’s learning potential based on a model of testing-intervention-retesting is referred to as

    • Integrative assessment

    • Dynamic assessment

    • Authentic assessment

    • Biopsychosocial assessment

    Correct Answer
    A. Dynamic assessment
    Explanation
    Dynamic assessment is an approach to discovering a student's learning potential based on a model of testing-intervention-retesting. It involves assessing a student's abilities and then providing targeted interventions to determine their ability to learn and make progress. This approach recognizes that learning is not fixed and can be influenced by various factors, such as instruction and support. Dynamic assessment allows for a more comprehensive understanding of a student's abilities and provides valuable insights for educational planning and intervention.

  • 4. 

    Aptitude tests measure

    • The cognitive abilities that intelligence tests measure

    • Learning that has occurred as a result of exposure to a relatively defined learning experience

    • Learning that has occurred informally through life experiences

    • Learning that has occurred through formal structured input

    Correct Answer
    A. Learning that has occurred informally through life experiences
    Explanation
    Aptitude tests measure learning that has occurred informally through life experiences. This means that the test assesses the knowledge and skills that an individual has acquired through their everyday life and personal experiences, rather than through formal structured education or specific learning programs. It recognizes the value of real-life learning and the ability to apply knowledge and skills in practical situations.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The Woodcock-Johnson III is based on MOST on which theory of cognitive abilities?

    • Cattell-Horn

    • Gardener

    • Woodcock and Johnson

    • Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC)

    Correct Answer
    A. Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC). The Woodcock-Johnson III is based on this theory of cognitive abilities. The CHC theory proposes that intelligence is composed of different broad abilities, such as fluid intelligence, crystallized intelligence, and visual-spatial processing. The Woodcock-Johnson III assesses a wide range of cognitive abilities, including verbal comprehension, visual processing, and working memory, which aligns with the CHC theory.

  • 6. 

    Diagnostic tests are MOST typically used to 

    • Make a placement decision within highly technical employment settings

    • Determine what specific area of academic difficult require intervention

    • Make a screening decision in the military

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Determine what specific area of academic difficult require intervention
    Explanation
    Diagnostic tests are most typically used to determine what specific area of academic difficulty requires intervention. These tests are designed to assess a student's strengths and weaknesses in various academic areas, such as reading, writing, or math. By identifying the specific areas where a student is struggling, educators can develop targeted interventions and support to help the student improve in those areas. This can lead to more effective and efficient academic support, ultimately helping the student succeed in their education.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A possible limitation using of portfolios to measure academic achievement is that portfolios

    • Have little relevance to learning in real-world settings

    • Have yet to be successfully used in academic settings

    • Require motivation, not skill to assemble

    • May tap prior knowledge, not current learning

    Correct Answer
    A. May tap prior knowledge, not current learning
    Explanation
    Portfolios may tap prior knowledge, not current learning. This means that portfolios may primarily reflect what students already know or have learned in the past, rather than their current level of understanding or progress. This limitation suggests that portfolios may not provide an accurate or comprehensive measure of academic achievement, as they may not reflect the students' current abilities or growth.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Whether a test is referred to as an achievement test or an aptitude test may depend on

    • The face validity of the test for a specific purpose

    • Whether it can be shown that aptitude plays no factor in an achievement test score

    • Whether it can be shown that achievement plays no factor in an aptitude test score

    • The use to which the test is put

    Correct Answer
    A. The use to which the test is put
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that the classification of a test as an achievement test or an aptitude test depends on the purpose for which the test is used. The term "achievement test" is typically used when the test is designed to measure the knowledge or skills that an individual has already acquired. On the other hand, an "aptitude test" is used to assess an individual's potential or ability to acquire certain knowledge or skills in the future. Therefore, the use to which the test is put determines whether it is referred to as an achievement test or an aptitude test.

    The K-ABC was designed to measure

    • Achievement

    • Intelligence

    • Both achievement and intelligence

    • General aptitude

    Correct Answer
    A. Both achievement and intelligence
    Explanation
    The K-ABC (Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children) was specifically created to assess both achievement and intelligence in children. It is a comprehensive test that evaluates a child's cognitive abilities and academic skills. By measuring both achievement and intelligence, the K-ABC provides a more complete understanding of a child's overall cognitive functioning and academic performance.

    The term integrative assessment may BEST be interpreted as referring to

    • The integration of findings from a variety of instruments into one report

    • The integration of findings from a variety of sources into one report

    • The integration of findings from unobtrusive measures into the report

    • Integrating a statement of fees for professional services into the report.

    Correct Answer
    A. The integration of findings from a variety of sources into one report
    Explanation
    The term "integrative assessment" refers to the process of combining or merging information from different sources into a single report. This means that the assessment takes into account findings from various instruments or methods, allowing for a comprehensive and holistic evaluation. By integrating these diverse sources, a more complete and accurate picture can be obtained, leading to a more informed decision-making process.

    A simplified statement of the response to intervention (RtI) model is as follows:

    • 1) intervene, 2) respond to intervention, 3) remediate or intervene as needed

    • 1) remediate, 2) evaluate, 3) instruct and remediate as needed

    • 1)evaluate, 2) instruct, 3) evaluate and instruct as needed

    • 1) instruct, 2) evaluate, 3) remediate or instruct as needed

    Correct Answer
    A. 1) instruct, 2) evaluate, 3) remediate or instruct as needed
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1) instruct, 2) evaluate, 3) remediate or instruct as needed. This sequence aligns with the response to intervention (RtI) model, which involves providing instruction to all students, evaluating their progress, and then providing additional support or instruction as needed. By starting with instruction, educators can provide a strong foundation for learning. Evaluation allows for monitoring of student progress and identifying areas that may require additional support. Remediation or further instruction is then provided based on the evaluation results to ensure students receive the necessary assistance to succeed.

    According of Maureen Dennis’ Heuristic describing the impact of brain damage on skill development, brain damage that occurs when a skill is developing

    • Is less vulnerable to the impact of brain injury

    • Could result in the onset of that skill being delayed

    • Could result in the order of acquisition being out of normal sequence

    • Could result in the rate of acquisition as lagging behind age expectations

    Correct Answer
    A. Could result in the rate of acquisition as lagging behind age expectations
    Explanation
    According to Maureen Dennis' Heuristic, brain damage that occurs when a skill is developing could result in the rate of acquisition lagging behind age expectations. This means that the individual may take longer to acquire the skill compared to what is typically expected for their age. The brain damage may hinder the normal progression of skill development, causing delays in reaching age-appropriate milestones.

    Sia had meningitis when she was 3 years of age. Neuropsychological assessment 1 year later indicated she was performing within age expectations, although towards the lower end of this range, on tests of intellectual ability, receptive language, and memory. Neuropsychological assessments 2, 4, and 8 years after injury showed Sia was increasingly performing below age expectations on tests of attention, memory, and planning and organization. Which of the following best applied to Sia’s situation?

    • Sia is likely to catch up to her peers because these skills develop across childhood and adolescence

    • Sia has impaired planning and organization skills

    • These results suggest Sia is “growing into deficits”

    • Given Sia had early brain injury and is likely to perform below age expectations on tests of cognitive abilities

    Correct Answer
    A. These results suggest Sia is “growing into deficits”
  • 14. 

    The Shape School is a/an ___________

    • Continuous performance task

    • Stroop task

    • Attention Network test

    • Assessment battery

    Correct Answer
    A. Stroop task
    Explanation
    The Stroop task is a well-known psychological test that measures the interference in reaction time caused by a conflict between different stimuli. In this task, participants are presented with words that name different colors, but the ink color of the word may or may not match the word itself. The task requires individuals to ignore the meaning of the word and focus solely on the color of the ink. The Stroop task is commonly used to assess attentional control, cognitive flexibility, and response inhibition. Therefore, it is a suitable explanation for the given correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    A problem with self-report measures of depression, such as the Black Depression Inventory, is that

    • Test takers can fake depression or fake the absence of depression

    • They are highly unreliable and based solely on what happened to the testtaker during the previous day or so

    • They don not gauge the severity of depression, only its presence or absence

    • The theory on which they are based has been shown to be severely flawed

    Correct Answer
    A. They are highly unreliable and based solely on what happened to the testtaker during the previous day or so
    Explanation
    Self-report measures of depression, like the Black Depression Inventory, can be problematic because they are highly unreliable. This is because they rely solely on the test taker's recollection of what happened to them during the previous day or so. This means that the accuracy of the measure is dependent on the individual's memory and perception of their own experiences, which can be subjective and prone to bias. Therefore, the results may not accurately reflect the presence or absence of depression.
