Question

Carol's daughter Desiree has been disrupting her kindergarten class recently, and she is also struggling to stay on task when doing homework or chores. A school psychologist plans to assess Desiree for psychological disorders, first by sitting in on Desiree's class to conduct __________ and then by having Desiree perform specific cognitive tasks.

a.an interview
b.psychological testing
c.an observation
d.a self-report

Answer 1

Answer:

First to conduct C. an observation.

Explanation:

In this case we can conclude the school psychologist is conducting an observation by sitting in Desiree's class and watching her interactions and general attitude during the class.

She is not conducting an interview since that would require to ask and answer questions and a self-report would be made by Desiree so it is not right either. No testing is taking part either.
