You’re welcome! I wish I had the time to update or expand on them, but I am busy with my career as a full-time clinical psychologist. Good luck with your exams and your career!!
@@keithdonohue4631 that's totally fine! Making this free for everyone who wants a refresher with Psychological Testing/Assessment for their review means a lot to me already. 🥺💕
Thank you so much for uploading this and other videos you put online. I am currently reviewing for the licensure exam, and your videos helped me a lot in refreshing all the lessons I took. Thanks again! 😊
your videos are brief and informative! i'm cramming for my license exam and your lectures are amazing. thank you for uploading this and helping us ppl out here :D
Thank you so much for these free lectures. I am currently studying psychological assessment for the licensure board exam here in the Philippines. More power to you, sir!
You're welcome! And good luck with your exams. I used to teach at a university, but now I am in practice as a clinical psychologist. I like my new job, but I sometimes miss making lectures for my classes and posting them on RUclips. Now that work is slowing down, because of the pandemic, I may have more time for lecture-writing and recording. I'd really like to add lectures on the MMPI-2 and the MCMI-IV to my testing & assessments series.
Keith Donohue from Thailand, had been selling tests for years, years, all those mentioned in this lecture. But i am not a psychologist so this lecture and others are eye-opening. Our government organizations have so many this and that rules on procurement so a reseller / importer like me have the business. Thank you very much.
Hi! Its time to say thank you to people who have helped me during my review... your videos and lectures were indeed very much helpful... thanks a lot... :) i passed the board exam with the help of lectures and series of your lectures. Thanks! :)
Wow! Thank you for the kind words. I am really happy to share with you and the other interested folks who watch my lecture videos. This semester (Fall, 2017) has been so busy, that I haven't been able to add to much content. In the coming semester, I hope to add new videos about drugs & alcohol, psychological testing, statistics, and other topics that I like to think about (drinking tea, playing Dungeons & Dragons, etc...)
Keith Donohue sir... thank you so much... during the final week of my review... I just listened to your lectures... it was really not an easy licensure board exam... but grateful for your generosity sir for sharing with us your knowledge. God bless you more 😊
hello sweet! i'll be taking the licensure exam on Oct. congratulations for passing the board exam! I hope I can pass it too. among the four subjects, I find psych testing and assessment difficult to understand but I am studying this. thanks again!
Thank you so much for these videos, you explain very well and make these topics interesting and easy to understand. I always take your advice to have a cup of tea or coffee after each video:)
That is such an amazing opportunity, it's so kind of you to spread your knowledge to the world this way. You explain everything so clearly that I haven't got any questions so far, but thank you for your offer, I will let you know:)
I am still pretty new to using RUclips, but I will look into this. please note: it will probably take me about a week, as I am currently teaching another class (the summer version of my drugs & alcohol class).
Sir, about the uses of testing - maybe I am wrong, but I think testing (follow up) can happen post the assessment as well to check if the treatment is/was successful, and then it verifies the initial assessment/result.
Wow. It's always fun for me when someone finds one of my old lectures on testing, drugs, statistics, etc. Thanks for watching and commenting. You are right that testing can be used to evaluate the effect of a treatment. Ideally, you can do pre-treatment testing and post-treatment testing for two groups of subjects, one of which gets the treatment and the other of which does not (the control group). Then, you could use graphical or statistical analyses to compare the changes (in test scores) across the two groups, to help you decide how effective the treatment was.
You are also right that you can repeat a test, with just one subject, to try to evaluate the validity of the first test. For instance, you might administer multiple versions of the same test (e.g., alternative versions of the R-BANS), across different testing days, to measure a subjects neurocognitive functioning. If you can assume that whatever construct you are measuring (e.g., working memory) is fairly stable over the time-frame that you are testing in (e.g., if working memory *shouldn't* change a lot), and if you can assume that there are no independent effects of repeated testing (e.g., if doing memory testings again and again *shouldn't* result in improving scores because of practice or changes in effort), then the results of these repeated tests help you to estimate the persons *true* score for that test. For instance, you might take an average, across multiple tests, and use it as the estimate of what the person's working memory score *really* is. The mean of the test scores that you have is a statistic that is estimating a parameter (i.e., the mean of all the test scores you could have, if you repeated the test with the same person and infinite number of times) that *should* reflect the reality of the construct (i.e., what the person's working memory *really* is). Of course, you can't ever do this (you can never know any parameters, you can only ever estimate them with statistics like means, medians, etc.). The point here is that repeatedly testing isn't so much about verifying the first test results, as it is about estimating what those results -- or any results -- should *really* be. And if it's not obvious, I have used a bunch of "*"s to emphasize that all of this rests on assumptions about the construct that you are trying to measure (e.g., does it even exist as a unitary thing, does the test even measure it at all, is it stable over time, can you really test repeatedly without biasing your estimate...?). The more you think about it, the more confusing it can get!
I try to talk about estimating *true* scores in my video on Classical Test Theory and in my video on the WAIS (ruclips.net/video/hUGFR8odet4/видео.html)
@@keithdonohue4631 Thanks much for your response, Sir. Psychological testing was a difficult topic until I saw your videos - these are extremely insightful and have made concepts super easy. Best regards. :)
Psychological testing usually means the administration and interpretation of specific tests. Psychological evaluation usually means the integration of information from different tests, as well as information from other sources (interviews, medical records, etc.) into a coherent report that answers specific questions that the patient (or the person who referred the patient) has.
Good Day sir. I am currently studying for our review in board exam. And i am a bit confused on what is the difference between FIXED INTERVAL AND FIXED RATIO. As well as VARIABLE INTERVAL AND RATIO. Thank you so much sir for the future response. I just need a good definition that is understandable and also an example. 😊
Hmmm... I'm not sure that I understand your question. Are you asking about different schedules for operant conditioning? Are you asking about different metrics for variables on a test? These terms (e.g., "fixed interval") can mean different things, in different contexts.
Over the years, I have used a few different textbooks for my psychological testing class. When I last taught it, I used the current edition of "Psychological Testing: History, Principles and Applications", by Gregory. That said, I try to use a lot or original sources (mostly journal articles on psychological testing) in my lectures.
I use Gregory's Psychological Testing: History, Principles and Applications, 7th Edition (www.pearson.com/us/higher-education/program/Gregory-Psychological-Testing-History-Principles-and-Applications-7th-Edition/PGM332874.html) for my class, but I also include information from my training and experience as a clinical psychologist.

What is the simplest explanation between difference of psychoclogical assessment and testing?
Psychological testing usually means the administration and interpretation of specific tests. Psychological evaluation usually means the integration of information from different tests, as well as information from other sources (interviews, medical records, etc.) into a coherent report that answers specific questions that the patient (or the person who referred the patient) has.

Keith Donohue Im sorry for my confusing question sir. I am reffering to different schedules of operant conditioning. Im sorry if im out of the topic 😊
which do u prefer sir, the kaplan one or this gregory one?
Over the years, I have used a few different textbooks for my psychological testing class. When I last taught it, I used the current edition of "Psychological Testing: History, Principles and Applications", by Gregory. That said, I try to use a lot or original sources (mostly journal articles on psychological testing) in my lectures.
Question: what the hell is that on his head?
Good Day, Sir! What book did you use or may I know your references for this subject? Thank you!
I use Gregory's Psychological Testing: History, Principles and Applications, 7th Edition (www.pearson.com/us/higher-education/program/Gregory-Psychological-Testing-History-Principles-and-Applications-7th-Edition/PGM332874.html) for my class, but I also include information from my training and experience as a clinical psychologist.
