Abstract

Base rates of failure (BR_Fail) on performance validity tests (PVTs) were examined in university students with limited English proficiency (LEP). BR_Fail was calculated for several free-standing and embedded PVTs. All free-standing PVTs and certain embedded indicators were robust to LEP. However, LEP was associated with unacceptably high BR_Fail (20-50%) on several embedded PVTs with high levels of verbal mediation (even multivariate models of PVT could not contain BR_Fail). In conclusion, failing free-standing/dedicated PVTs cannot be attributed to LEP. However, the elevated BR_Fail on several embedded PVTs in university students suggest an unacceptably high overall risk of false positives associated with LEP.

跨文化绩效效度测试:处理英语水平有限的考生的误报。

本研究以英语水平有限的大学生为研究对象，考察其效度测验的基本不合格率。计算了几个独立和嵌入式pvt的BRFail。所有独立式pvt和某些嵌入指标对LEP均具有鲁棒性。然而，在一些具有高水平言语中介的嵌入式PVT中，LEP与不可接受的高BRFail(20-50%)相关(即使PVT的多变量模型也不可能包含BRFail)。总之，独立/专用pvt的失败不能归因于LEP。然而，大学生中几个嵌入式pvt的BRFail升高表明与LEP相关的假阳性总体风险高得令人无法接受。

期刊介绍： Devoted to exploring relationships between brain and behavior across the life span, Developmental Neuropsychology publishes scholarly papers on the appearance and development of behavioral functions, such as language, perception, and social, motivational and cognitive processes as they relate to brain functions and structures. Appropriate subjects include studies of changes in cognitive function—brain structure relationships across a time period, early cognitive behaviors in normal and brain-damaged children, plasticity and recovery of function after early brain damage, the development of complex cognitive and motor skills, and specific and nonspecific disturbances, such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, schizophrenia, stuttering, and developmental aphasia. In the gerontologic areas, relevant subjects include neuropsychological analyses of normal age-related changes in brain and behavioral functions, such as sensory, motor, cognitive, and adaptive abilities; studies of age-related diseases of the nervous system; and recovery of function in later life. Empirical studies, research reviews, case reports, critical commentaries, and book reviews are featured in each issue. By publishing both basic and clinical studies of the developing and aging brain, the journal encourages additional scholarly work that advances understanding of the field of lifespan developmental neuropsychology.
