“…In the present study, therefore, 95% of the responses were supposed to demonstrate acceptable goodness-of-fit to the Rasch measurement model and not to be a threat to validity (22). Because the META only has ten performance skill items, the goodness-of-fit criterion for these was no more than one performance skill item demonstrating misfit (37). All measures generated from the Rasch analyses have error estimations, defined as Standard Error (SE).…”

Title: Psychometric evaluation of a new assessment of the ability to manage technology in everyday life. AbstractTechnology increasingly influences the everyday lives of most people, and the ability to manage technology can be seen as a prerequisite for participation in everyday occupations.However, knowledge about ability and skills required for management of technology is sparse. This study aimed to validate a new observation-based assessment, the Management of Everyday Technology Assessment (META). The META is developed to assess the ability to manage technology in everyday life. A sample of 116 older adults with and without cognitive impairment were observed and interviewed by the use of the META when managing their everyday technology at home. The results indicate that the META demonstrates acceptable person response validity and technology goodness-of-fit. Additionally, the META can separate individuals with higher ability from individuals with lower ability to manage everyday technology. The META can be seen as a complement to existing ADL assessment techniques and is planned to be used both in research and practice.

“…[51][52][53][54][55] The CBPR process allowed us to successfully adapt instruments to directly collect data from autistic individuals. To our knowledge, this is the first study to directly obtain data from autistic adults about their perceptions of unmet healthcare needs, patient-provider communication, and healthcare self-efficacy.…”

Assessing executive performance during cognitive rehabilitation

Executive functioning influences a host of other cognitive processes and people who attend neuropsychological services are more likely to display executive dysfunction than any other cognitive deficit (Stuss & Levine, 2002). Impairment in executive functioning disrupts a person's ability to effectively employ their intact areas of functioning, and undermines effective self-management of other areas of dysfunction, hampering attempts to employ compensatory strategies. Therefore, assessment of a person's executive functioning is a high priority as part of a comprehensive neurorehabilitation plan. Guided by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health model (ICF model; Peterson, 2005), we suggest that an important development in the field is moving to formal assessment of executive performance in functional contexts, in addition to more traditional assessment of executive impairment. We outline a number of existing studies in this area, review current measures that can provide clinicians with useful information on these issues, and discuss how this research could be further advanced.
