Why Is There No Study of Cultural Equivalence in Standardized Cognitive Ability Testing?

Janet E. Helms
摘要:
Black–White differences in performance on cognitive ability tests (CATs) typically have been explained by assumptions inherent in the implicit biological or environmental philosophical perspectives. It is argued that these perspectives are based on deficient conceptualizations of culture. Consequently, neither can provide useful information about the cultural equivalence (meaning) of test scores across racial or ethnic groups. The culturalist perspective is presented as an alternative for investigating racial cultural influnces on CATs using Eurocentric and Afrocentric cultural dimensions. Implications and recommendations for examining cultural equivalence in CATs from a culturalist perspective are discussed.

题目:Equivalence of computerized and paper-and-pencil cognitive ability tests: A meta-analysis

Mead, Alan D.; Drasgow, Fritz
摘要:The effects of the medium of test administration, paper and pencil vs computerized, were examined for timed power and speeded tests of cognitive abilities for populations of young adults and adults. Meta-analytic techniques were used to estimate the cross-mode correlation after correcting for measurement error. A total of 159 correlations was meta-analyzed: 123 from timed power tests and 36 from speeded tests. The corrected cross-mode correlation was found to be .91 when all correlations were analyzed simultaneously. Speededness was found to moderate the effects of administration mode in that the cross-mode correlation was estimated to be .97 for timed power tests but only .72 for speeded tests. No difference in equivalence was observed between adaptively and conventionally administered computerized tests. Some limitations on the generality of these results are discussed, and directions for future research are outlined. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
