This book provides a comprehensive introduction to psychological
assessment and covers areas not typically addressed in existing
test and measurements texts, such as neuropsychological assessment
and the use of tests in forensics settings. The book introduces the
vocabulary of the profession and the most basic mathematics of
testing early as being fundamental to understanding the field.
Numerous examples are drawn from tests that the authors have
written or otherwise helped to develop, reflecting the authors'
deep understanding of these tests and their familiarity with
problems encountered in test development, use, and interpretation.
Following the introduction of the basic areas of psychometrics, the
book moves to areas of testing that represent various approaches to
measuring different psychological constructs (memory, language,
executive function, etc.), with emphasis on the complex issue of
cultural bias in testing. Examples of existing tests are given
throughout the book; however, this book is not designed to prepare
students to go out and administer, score, and interpret specific
psychological tests. Rather, the purpose of this book is to provide
the foundational core of knowledge about tests, measurement, and
assessment constructs, issues, and quantitative tools. Explains
what constitutes a psychological test, how tests are developed, how
they are best used, and how to evaluate their strengths and
weaknesses; Describes areas of testing that represent different
approaches to measuring different psychological constructs;
Explains applications of psychological testing to issues in the
courts; Addresses how test authors and publishers design and
research tests to address the difficult and demanding issues of
cultural differences in test performance and interpretation of test
results.
