Familiar Strangers

Abstract

Although frequently used in the assessment and treatment of communication disorders, criterion-referenced measures are often not well understood, making them both familiar and alien—thus, familiar strangers. This article is designed to better acquaint test users with the characteristics associated with the use and evaluation of criterion-referenced measures, particularly as they differ from norm-referenced measures. Guidelines are proposed for the evaluation and selection of standardized criterion-referenced measures as well as for the development and ongoing evaluation of informal criterion-referenced measures.
