Comparison of the Standard and Computerized Versions of the Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices Test

Abstract

Computerized psychological assessment is potentially a viable alternative to the traditional method of examiner based assessment. 15 children, 4 females and 11 males, ranging in age from 7 to 14 yr., were administered a computerized version of the Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices test. The necessary software for computerizing this test was developed and programmed for use with an Apple II Plus microcomputer. Scores obtained from the computerized and traditional versions of the Raven's test were compared on total mean score, correlation with the WISC-R, Raven's subscale intercorrelations, and Raven's total mean score composition. In general, results indicate that the two versions of the Raven's Matrices do not statistically significantly differ on the dimensions tested in the present study. The relatively small number of subjects and the lack of rigorous experimental control limit generalization of the results. Continued research into the use of computerized psychological assessment is warranted.

“…The time and accuracy of each response were registered [57][58][59]. Later on, SPM [60][61][62] and CPM [63] were administered using computers to school-aged children, high school students, psychiatric patients, federal employees, and undergraduate students. These automated versions differed only in their presentation format from the original ones, hence providing no advantages regarding the test length and the duration of attention focus required to the test-takers.…”

“…The English computerized version has been found to be as reliable as the paper-based version. 19 We have translated the English instructions and comments into Norwegian using a professional sound studio to ensure optimal quality of the sound files. Thus, each participant was ensured an identical set of instructions.…”

Measuring recognition performance using computer-based and paper-based methods

“…No significant differences were found in the scores of measures of anxiety, depression, and psychological reactance due to computer-based and paperbased administration (Lukin et al, 1985). Studies of cognitive tests have provided inconsistent findings, with some studies (Hitti, Riffer, & Stuckless, 1971;Rock & Nolen, 1982) demonstrating that the computerized version is a viable alternative to the paper-based version. Other research (Hansen & O'Neil, 1970;Hed!…”
