Describe the sampling procedures (random, stratified, stratified-random, purposive, incidental).

For each of the three tests,
Verbal Behavior Milestone Assessment &placment program (VBMAPP)
Assessment of Basic Language & learning skills Revised,
Assessment of functional living skills address the following:
Purpose for
Testing and Content, Skills, and/or Constructs Assessed
Define the test publisher’s purpose for each test. In other words, what are some of the reasons
why a test user (i.e., psychologist) administers this test to a client? What content or skills does the test measure
(e.g., specific cognitive processes, executive functions, academic skills,
adaptive behavior skills, etc.)? What constructs does each test purport to
measure (depression, verbal intelligence, personality traits, autism)?
[Evaluate
whether the purpose of testing and the content, skills and/or constructs
assessed by each test are appropriate for one’s specialization or a related
profession. In other words, are these
purposes and content, skills, and/or constructs relevant the field of applied behavior analysis. If so,
explain how these tests would be used in your specialization or a related
profession. Omit these instructions before
submitting your assignment].
Normative
Sample, Sampling Procedures, and Intended Population
[Describe the
characteristics of the normative sample (standardization sample) in terms of
age,
race, geographic region, gender, dominant language, etc. What
percentage of the normative sample consists of these characteristics (if
available). Describe the sampling
procedures (random, stratified, stratified-random, purposive, incidental). What was the size of the normative
sample?

[Evaluate each test’s normative sample based on the anticipated
populations served by one’s specialization or related profession. Does the
characteristics of the normative sample of each test adequately match the characteristics
of the population that a professional in your specialization or a related field
would likely serve? Do you believe that
the sample size and procedures were adequate in order to generalize the test
results to a population that a professional in your specialization or a related
profession would likely assess? Omit these instructions before submitting your
assignments.]

Test-User Knowledge, Skills, and Training
[Describe
the training, education, and/or skills required by the test user to administer,
score, and interpret the test. Test publisher websites often include
information on the qualification needed in order to purchase and use their
tests. For example, Pearson Assessments,
a large-scale psychological test publisher, has established a level system for
test user qualifications based upon the education, training, and expertise
needed to purchase, administer, score, and interpret each test. Qualification
levels range from qualification level A (no special qualification needed) to
qualification level C (a doctorate degree in psychology, education, or a closely
related field). Omit these instructions before submitting your assignment.]

[Evaluate the required knowledge,
skills, and training of test users based on the anticipated assessment training
required of your specialization or the training of a related profession. Would
you a professional in your specialization or a related field be qualified to
administer, score, and interpret each test? Omit these instructions before
submitting your assignment.]

Comparisons and Contrasts of the Three Tests
[Compare and contrast the three tests based on the previous three
sections of the paper. Decide which test
is most appropriate based on the information you have reviewed. Explain your choice. All future assignments will be focused only
on this one test you determine here.
Omit these instructions before submitting your assignment.]
Three MMY test reviews (one for each test if available). If an MMY review is not available for one or more of your selected tests, you must substitute it with another type of source.
Three test publisher websites (one for each test). If there is no test publisher website for a selected test, you must substitute this with another type of source.
Three journal articles (one for each test).
Length of paper: A minimum of five double-spaced pages, not including the title page or references (an abstract is not required).
APA format: Current APA format and style is required throughout. Be sure to use the correct format and style for each respective type of reference, for example, website site versus journal). Refer to your APA manual for guidance.
