Scoring of a ‘Steadiness’ Test

Nature, 1960
A TEST of ‘steadiness’ has been used in this Department as a class experiment, in order to illustrate the importance of the ‘double blind’ principle in the design of controlled clinical trials. The apparatus of Seashore and Adams1 was chosen. Steadiness is measured as the ability to hold a metal stylus in position for a fixed period within holes of ...

Unusual test score combinations and unusual test score differences

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1987
Vocabulary and Abstraction scores on the Shipley Institute of Living Scale are used to illustrate the relation between unusual test score combinations and unusual test score differences. It is demonstrated that a combination of two scores can be unusual even though the corresponding difference is not and that a difference between two scores can be ...

Scoring for eye irritation tests

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 1993
Scoring of the rabbit eye test and the resulting evaluation and classification should provide useful information about the likelihood that a test material may cause injury on contact with the human eye. When an animal test is necessary, a rabbit eye test based on the following characteristics is proposed for deriving the maximum information from the ...

Confidence intervals for test scores and significance tests for test score differences: A comparison of methods

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1989
Two methods of setting confidence intervals for test scores and testing the significance of test score differences are compared with respect to their simplicity and the similarity of their results. The conventional method, which is based on obtained scores, is unquestionably simpler than the technically correct method, which is based on estimated true ...

Tests, Test Scores, and Constructs

Educational Psychologist, 2018
In the service of educational accountability, student achievement tests are being used to measure constructs quite unlike those envisioned by test developers. Scores are compared to cut points to create classifications like “proficient”; scores are combined over time to measure growth; student scores are aggregated to measure the effectiveness of ...

Multidimensional Scoring in Aphasia Testing

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1971
To overcome the limitations of aphasia tests employed in the past, this study attempted to develop a scoring method which would consider the five dimensions of response and would sensitively quantify levels of behavior in a clinically practical manner.

Testing for genetic association: A powerful score test

Statistics in Medicine, 2008
AbstractTo study the association between a candidate gene and a complex genetic disease, Pearson's χ2 statistic can be applied to an m × 2 contingency table, where the m categories correspond to m haplotypes or marker alleles. For m>2, two alternative approaches for Pearson's χ2 can be followed, which are more powerful if one haplotype or marker ...

Scores on a Statistics Test and Scores on the Defense Style Questionnaire

Psychological Reports, 1998
Scores for 21 men and 41 women on a university statistics test were compared with scores on the 1993 Defense Style Questionnaire of Andrews, et al. The significant negative association between higher scores on the statistics test and higher scores on the measure of the defence mechanism of projection suggested the latter construct be considered when ...

Testing Hypotheses with Estimated Scores

Biometrika, 1990
SUMMARY A method is proposed for testing hypotheses that is very much in the spirit of expected maximum log likelihood estimation and bears much the same relation to it as the likelihood ratio test methodology does to maximum likelihood estimation. For a single test parameter, the method amounts to basing critical regions on the difference between the ...
