ASHA Community Spotlight
I just got an email that I’ll be profiled on ASHA Community Page for the next month or so. So click on the link to find out why I participate in ASHA’s Professional Community.
Here are some ways in which I participate:
I contribute to forum discussions including those which pertain to Special Interest Groups 1, 14, and 16.
I share materials with members and post them in various ASHA Libraries.
I am an ASHA S.T.E.P Mentor.
I also intermittently contribute blog posts to ASHAsphere, the official blog of the American Speech Language and Hearing Association.
If you are a certified speech language pathologist I highly recommend ASHA Community Participation as as part of your professional growth.
If you haven’t done it yet, try it!
I guarantee you’ll like it!
What is practice effect?
Practice effect is the change in performance resulting from repeated testing. In other words if a test is given to the child too soon, then his/her performance may improve due to the practice effect (remembering the test items).
Why do we need to know about practice effect? Its important to know regarding practice effect because following retesting we need to know whether the child’s performance has actually improved or is the improvement a result of retesting provided too soon.
When can the same test be readministered to a child? Major testing companies such as Pearson and Pro-ed use a 2 week interval between readminstrations of developmental tests for the purposes of test-retest reliability. Why do they do that? Well if you wait too long they can’t tell “if differences in scores are due to the test being unreliable or due to developmental factors.”
So how long should we wait to readminister the same test to a child?
Review the test-retest reliability in the manual. Based on those results you will see that if you wait more than two weeks (e.g., 3-4 weeks) following original test administration it should eliminate the practice effect.
