Dynamic Assessment: CTMT, Kettle Test, and Met-R

Static assessment

focus on identifying and quantifying the degree of impairment. Performance is measured by the number of errors and is interpreted relative to a normative sample or an external criterion that places abilities along a continuum from low to high

Dynamic Assessment

is an interactive procedure that systematically and objectively measures the degree of change that occurs in response to cues, strategies, feedback, or task conditions that are introduced during testing

Test-Teach-Retest Approach

•Training is sandwiched between a static test and re-test

•Performance is measured before and after a period of instruction to determine the level or magnitude of change

•Let’s try! (Contextual Memory Test)

Make it a real-life

•Incorporate unanticipated obstacles to elicit problem solving

•Incorporate real life distractions

• Phone ringing

• Radio playing
