Psychology diagnostic accuracy confidence pretend play preschool specific language impairment attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder autism spectrum disorder This study was designed to examine the role that education and experience play in diagnostic accuracy. Four groups of raters, differing in education (low or high) and experience (low or high), were asked to categorize 93 children with typical development, specific language impairment (SLI), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) based on their performance during a standardized five-minute free play assessment. After reviewing the child’s play, raters categorized the child into general developmental category (typical or atypical) and specific diagnostic category (typical, SLI, ADHD, ASD) and then ranked their confidence in each categorization. Education and experience did not contribute to accuracy generally or specifically. However, raters classified children with typical development more accurately than children with ASD, ADHD, or SLI, and they also had more success identifying ASD than ADHD or SLI. Overall, raters were more confident when the classification was correct than when it was incorrect. 2015-09-02 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1433424760 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1433424760 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
