The Association Between Sentence Repetition And Other Cognitive Abilities In School-Aged Children, Alicia Nicole Bartlett
The Association Between Sentence Repetition And Other Cognitive Abilities In School-Aged Children, Alicia Nicole Bartlett
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The present study examined the association between sentence repetition and other cognitive abilities in 6- to 14-year-old children (N = 118; 60% female) recruited from schools in Windsor, Ontario. The effect of age and sex on children's SR was also examined. Children completed Benton's (1965) sentence repetition task, which required them to repeat a series of 26 verbally presented sentences of increasing length. Language, auditory verbal memory, processing speed, fluid reasoning, and visual perception were measured with subtests from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (5th edition) and auditory nonverbal memory was assessed with the Seashore Rhythm Test. A multiple …

Base Rates Of Failure And Classification Accuracy Of Various Performance Validity Tests Administered In A Medical-Legal Setting, Jaspreet Kaur Rai
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In neuropsychological assessment, performance validity tests (PVTs) are used to assess whether patients’ performances on cognitive testing represent their true ability levels. Higher base rates of PVT failure (BRFail) have been consistently found in the context of external incentives to appear impaired (e.g., medical-legal settings) as compared to settings without such incentives (e.g., clinical referrals). Despite the exponential growth of interest and empirical research on PVTs within the past decades, most studies have had relatively limited sample sizes and focused on a small number of instruments and clinical populations. To address this void in large-scale research, this dissertation aimed to …
