Psychological Assessment and Reports - PSYP902
This unit examines the theory and practice of test use in professional psychology. The unit teaches the administration, scoring and interpretation of child and adult intelligence tests, achievement tests, certain neuropsychological tests, adaptive behaviour tests and tests of personality and emotional functioning. Students are instructed in the writing of reports in which the results of test data have to be communicated. Issues involved in the testing of special populations, such as individuals with brain injury are considered and practical experience in managing these issues is provided through live skills assessment. Issues of cross-cultural assessment and culture fair testing are considered as well as practical considerations relating to testing in private practice, such as which tests to purchase.
