A theory is discussed in which observed performance ratings are derived from the distance between a rater reference point and subject performance point located on a postulated equal-interval scale and a postulated s-shaped rater characteristic curve, operationalized as the normal ogive. Least-squares estimates of rater (nR=47, 31, and 29) and…

PDF pending restorationAlvir, Howard P. – 1974
This document contains a number of processes and criteria levels with which the progressive test writer should be familiar in order to measure more than cognitive success. These processes allow test writers to examine existing paper and pencil examinations in order to sound out implications for performance testing. Hands-on performance testing is…

Andrews, Theodore – 1974
This paper discusses factors related to the development of a good state competency-based certification system in order to make educational reforms which are compatible with a localized value system. One factor is the leadership positions of state certification personnel that enable them to become instrumental in making certification policies by…

Trepanier, Mary; Hofmann, Richard J. – 1973
The general objective of this study was to study Piaget's notion of the sequential development of number conservation in 85 children averaging 5.9 years of age. The question addressed was to determine if a set of ten equal addition conservation of number tasks were scalable. A large coefficient of reproducibility, .912, was computed. Other indices…

Forbes, T. W.; And Others – 1973
The report develops a method of driver performance measurement. Suitability or unsuitability (potential hazard and interference with other traffic) of driving behavior patterns in changing traffic situations is rated by pairs of carefully trained observer/raters. In 2 studies, new groups with driver education teaching background were trained as…

Gueths, J. E. – 1971
The author outlines attempts in measurement in the objective-evaluation component of a descriptive astronomy course for the non-scientist, how the measurement has been made, and some conclusions tentatively drawn as a result of two attempts at these measurements. The learning objectives and summative performance tests have been conceptually…

Manpower Administration (DOL), Washington, DC. U.S. Training and Employment Service. – 1969
To verify assumptions concerning content validity and to qualify relationships between tests and criteria, three validation studies of the United States Employment Service Dictation, Spelling, and Typing Tests were carried out in cooperation with 18 State Employment Services. Study I, validation of the Spelling and Dictation Tests, revealed a…

The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), a measure of concept formation and set-shifting capacity, was administered to two groups of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients defined by clinical course. The chronic progressive patients achieved fewer conceptual categories due to significantly more perseverative responses than control patients, whereas the…

Peer reviewedHegarty, Mary; And Others – Cognitive Psychology, 1988
Two studies of performance in psychometric tests of mechanical ability are described. The subjects included a total of 70 undergraduates. Results allowed identification of subjects' rules of mechanical reasoning that accounted for variations in performance according to mechanical ability. (TJH)

Peer reviewedNorcini, John J.; And Others – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1988
A test of skill in reading electrocardiographs (ECGs) was developed as a physician competence (PC) test. The criterion-referenced test ranked 1,825 persons taking the 1983 Certifying Examination in Cardiovascular Diseases (CECD) as expected on the basis of prior education and examination scores on the CECD. The ECG test modestly correlated with…
