Prediction of PICA overall score by short versions of the test
Abstract:
Two short versions (SPICAs) of the Porch Index of Communicative Ability (PICA) were developed and investigated, with specific attention to their ability to predict standard PICA overall scores of patients with aphasia. Ninety-three patients were administered three versions of the test in randomized order. Results indicate that SPICAs predict overall scores by standard administration at acceptable confidence levels in approximately one-third of the time required for the administration of the standard PICA.

01:10P-value
P-value stands for the probability value. P-value is the probability that, if the null hypothesis is true, the results from another randomly selected sample will be as extreme or more extreme as the results obtained from the given sample.
A large P-value calculated from the data indicates to not reject the null hypothesis. But a higher P-value does not mean that the null hypothesis is true. The smaller the P-value, the more unlikely...
01:09Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can have a...

Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this; it...
