Using the Sentence Verification Technique to Assess Storage and Retrieval Processes
Abstract
The research described in this report had two purposes: First, to determine if meaning change and paraphrase test sentences (which are two of the test item types in the Sentence Verification Technique of Measuring reading comprehension) could be used to assess and examinee's capacity to store information that had been read and to retrieve information that had been previously stored, and second, to evaluate two procedures that could enhance the reliability of SVT tests. The two procedures were a new form of the Sentence Verification Technique called the Meaning Identification Technique and asking examinees to rate their confidence in responses to the items. Keywords; Psychometrics; Psychological tests; Memory.
