Research
All of Q-interactive’s tests and subtests are backed by rigorous studies.
Research plays an integral role in all aspects of clinicians’ work. Q-interactive is no different; it has a solid foundation of research supporting its use. Prior to inclusion in the Q-interactive assessment library, each new type of subtest undergoes an equivalency study to evaluate whether scores generated via testing with Q-interactive are interchangeable with those generated via testing with our standard paper-and-pencil versions. Currently, raw scores obtained using Q-interactive are interpreted using paper-pencil norms, and the equivalency studies provide support for the validity of this practice. You can access findings from each of the equivalency studies below:
This study evaluated the equivalence of scores from Q-interactive and paper-and-pencil versions of the California Verbal Learning Test, Second Edition (2000) and four Delis-Kaplan Executive Function Scale ( 2001). The CVLT-II and the D-KEFS subtests are tests on which the only plausible sources of format effect would be in the recording and scoring process, because the examinee does not interact with a tablet and the examiner does not intervene while the examinee is answering.
This study evaluated the equivalence of scores from digitally assisted and standard administrations of three NEPSY®–II (2007) subtests (Memory for Designs—Immediate, Picture Puzzles, and Inhibition) and two Children’s Memory Scale (1997) subtests (Picture Locations and Dot Locations). In this study, there were no format effects that reached the threshold for non-equivalence. Therefore, it was concluded that scores from digital and paper administrations are interchangeable.
This study evaluated the equivalence of scores from Q-interactive and paper-and-pencil versions of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition (WAIS–IV; Wechsler, 2008). Overall, it demonstrated that scores generated from Q-interactive are interchangeable with those obtained from the paper-pencil format.
In this study, the equivalence of scores from digitally assisted and standard scorings of two subtests of the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test®—third edition (WIAT®–III; Wechsler, 2009), Oral Reading Fluency and Sentence Repetition, were evaluated.
This study evaluated the equivalence of scores from Q-interactive and paper-and-pencil versions of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition (WISC–IV; Wechsler, 2003). Overall, it demonstrated that scores generated from Q-interactive are interchangeable with those obtained from the paper-pencil format.
In this study, the equivalence of scores from digitally assisted and standard administrations of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children®–fifth edition (WISC®–V; Wechsler, 2014) was evaluated.
In this study, the equivalence of scores from digitally assisted and standard administrations of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children®–fifth edition (WISC®–V; Wechsler, 2014) was evaluated.
