Behavioral Observation Methods
|
Narrative, Interval, Event, and Ratings recordings.
Narrative method - provides broad and narrow information from running records. Interval recordings - uses time sampling techniques. Event recordings - documents the target behavior as it occurs. Ratings method - uses rankings to evaluate global characteristics of a person |
|
|
What is the "Halo Effect"?
|
personal biases and/or fatigue. It can impact an observers assessment.
|
|
|
Adaptive/Functional Assessments
What is the common criteria for mental retardation? |
Such as Vineland and the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS).
Most school districts suggest that Standard Scores on adaptive measures and intelligence tests should be two (2) Standard Deviations below the mean to identify children with mental retardation. (SS<70) |
|
|
Which test is used to evaluate inattention in children?
|
Conners ADHD Scales
|
|
|
What are the steps in conducting a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)?
|
The primary steps in a FBA include determining the antecedents of the behavior, the target behavior itself and the consequence for the behavior. To help remember this general outline, think of A-B-C.

|

normative information about typical human traits.
a large population of people and reflects typical human conditions. 68 |
|
|
Fluid Intelligence
|
the ability to solve problems through reasoning.
It involves the ability to summarize and comprehend information to solve a task |
|
|
Fluid reasoning is sometimes referred to as
|
nonverbal reasoning, immediate problem solving or simultaneous processing.
|
|
|
Is Fluid Reasoning based on on previously learned facts, techniques, or language.
|
No.. That's Crystallized Intelligence
|
|
|
Crystallized Intelligence
|
the ability to solve problems by applying learned facts and language.
|
|
|
Type of Intelligence measured by Verbal sections of IQ tests.
|
Crystallized Intelligence
|
|
|
Who are the chief theorist behind the fluid reasoning and crystallized intelligence model?
|
Catell and Horn
|
|
|
Learning Disorders
|
Affect how a person understands, remembers and responds to new information. People with learning disorders may have problems
•Listening or paying attention •Speaking •Reading or writing •Doing math |
|
|
Pervasive Developmental Disorders
|
Refers to a group of five disorders characterized by delays in the development of multiple basic functions including socialization and communication.
The pervasive developmental disorders are: [1] Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), which includes atypical autism, and is the most common [2] Autism, the best-known [3] Asperger syndrome [4] Rett syndrome [5] Childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD) |
|
|
Down Syndrome
|
also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.[1] Down syndrome is the most common chromosome abnormality in humans.
|
|
|
Fragile X Syndrome
|
is a genetic syndrome that is the most widespread single-gene cause of autism and inherited cause of intellectual disability among boys. It results in a spectrum of intellectual disabilities ranging from mild to severe as well as physical characteristics such as an elongated face, large or protruding ears, and large testes (macroorchidism), and behavioral characteristics such as stereotypic movements (e.g. hand-flapping), and social anxiety.
|
|
|
Language Disorders
|
disorders that involve the processing of linguistic information. Problems that may be experienced can involve grammar (syntax and/or morphology), semantics (meaning), or other aspects of language.
These problems may be receptive (involving impaired language comprehension), expressive (involving language production), or a combination of both. Examples include specific language impairment and aphasia, among others |
|
|
Tic Disorders
|
defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) based on type (motor or phonic) and duration of tics (sudden, rapid, nonrhythmic movements).[
|
|
|
Authentic Assessments
|
these types of assessments usually have the student perform a typical classroom task (such as reading). Sometimes, these tasks take place in the actual environment in which the behavior is normally seen.
|
|
|
What are some factors that can interfere with obtaining accurate test results?
|
Motivation, fatigue, undiclosed vision or hearing difficulties and stress
|
|
|
WISC-IV
|
The WISC-IV assesses five broad domains - Verbal, Perceptual, Memory, Processing Speed, and Executive Functioning. Age range is 6 years old to 16:11
|
|
|
The Differential Abilities Scales (DAS)
|
The DAS has two forms - Preschool version (age range 2.6-5.11) and the School Age version (ages 6-17:11).
The DAS provides 3 major cluster scores that tap Verbal, Spatial, and Nonverbal abilities. DAS test results can be viewed from several different theoretical perspectives. The Nonverbal Cluster can be used with students who have language or hearing barriers. |
|
|
Cognitive Assessment System (CAS)
|
The CAS is based on the Luria Model of information processing and cognitive-neuropsychological theory (PASS). The PASS model stands for Planning, Attention, Simultaneous and Sequential processing. There is no verbal portion on this test and its claimed to be more culturally fair than other tests which rely on learned academic skills.

|
[Prevention and Intervention]
Which strategies are used to help a student with assertiveness issues? |
modeling and rehearsal
|
|
|
[Educational Psychology]
What is an effective method to teach and build comprehension skills? |
Have students ask themselves questions (self-talk) while reading a passage and to predict the outcome.
|
|
|
[Assessments and Identification]
what is "best practice" in assessment and identification |
should use multiple sources of information.
IQ test are central but cannot be used in isolation. Both formal and informal measures should be used. |
