Norming and Test Use
The normative sample used to develop a test has implications
regarding the populations to which the normed scores can be generalized.
Consider the following excerpt from the Mental Measurements Yearbook review of
the Infant-Toddler Development Assessment, paying particular attention to the
group used to develop or norm the instrument and considering how this may
affect the populations with which the test is able to be used.
Provide a brief description of the test and population.
Explain whether or not this test can be appropriately used with this population.
Please give some references.
