An Experimenter Wanted to Determine Whether a Paper-And Pencil Test

Question 153

Essay

An experimenter wanted to determine whether a paper-and pencil test of spatial-relations ability was valid. (A valid test is one that measures what it claims to measure.) He gave the test to a group of 32 children. He then took groups of seven children into a large two-story house and organized games of hide and seek. After an hour of play, he administered a test that determined whether the children had learned the spatial organization of the house.
