In which case, a more valid test would have been a simple off-by-heart test: "Learn off by heart as much of the Oxford English Dictionary as you can".
Instead of more valid test results, school grades had to be used as substitutes for school performance.
If commercial tests are not as costly and if more valid test score interpretations are presented, more programs will adopt these tests and be able to use these test scores without the misuse.
This supports our assumption that such a technique can prevent cheating, and can consequently assist in administering fairer, more reliable, and thus more valid test results.
In contrast to many previous studies, we used highly specific pairings to provide a more valid test of the relationship between physical performance tests and self-reported physical function, thereby minimizing problems of compensability and the risk of confounding across different domains of physical functioning.
Scores indicative of a high internal consistency are more valid than test-retest correlations when assessing the validity of transitory measures such as the STAI-S.
OCP are evaluated using an extensive neuropsychological assessment covering multiple cognitive domains and containing traditional (eg, Rey Complex Figure Test 18) and more ecologically valid tests (eg, Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test 19).
Traditional neuropsychological and more ecologically valid tests (eg, the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test) are used to evaluate OCP, making it possible to determine whether the ecological validity of tests affects the association between SCC and OCP.
Due to individual organs having similar cellular structure and micro-environment across different species, a cross-species comparison of given organs would definitely be more informative, and would allow more rigorous and valid testing of Peto's paradox.
Thus, the present research additionally provides us with a more ecologically valid test of the group monitoring hypothesis, and a methodological springboard from which future studies can determine whether the compensatory effects of group level processes will persist across situations in which participants have a wider range of blood alcohol concentrations.
