Question

To fulfill one of the three requirements of good test design, Dr. Billimek administered his new test, under uniform conditions, to a large number of people at various ages and who were representative of the population of interest. Dr. Billimek has gone through a procedure called ________, and the scores of this representative group will be used to establish the ________ against which an individual score will be compared and interpreted.

Answer 1

Standardization, norms

Step-by-step explanation:

Standardization refers to the methods used to gather information from a group or for a study and it refers to the fact that every group and member of the group receives the same amount of information, time and that there are no differences between the conditions in which the test took place among the different groups.

Dr. Billimek administered his test under uniform conditions to a large number of people who were representative of the population of interest. Therefore, he went through a procedure of standardization.

Norms refer to the mean scores on a test by a particular group of people (same age, same gender, same characteristic). These means (norms) will be the ones that will be used as a frame of reference for future tests.

After administering his test, the doctor will use the scores (their means) to establish the norms against which an individual score will be compared and interpreted.
