Discuss the limitations of the study or methods. Especially focus on any limitation that they did not mention themselves .

 Attentional shifting and disengagement in Rett syndrome (2019) by Susan A. Rose, et al. in Neuropsychology. DOI: 10.1037/neu0000515

Keep any explanation of the data or methods clear and concise so that you can focus primarily on the critique.

Suggestions for identifying something to critique:
1. Evaluate the experimental methods. For example, did the authors really test what they said they intended to test? Are there flaws in the experimental design? Did they include the appropriate control groups? Did they have the proper controls for their experimental conditions? Make sure you elaborate on these comments and describe the problem and how it impacts their results and how they can be interpreted. Provide suggestions for a better approach and say why. State what new information you think they would have found if they had used a different approach.
2. Do the conclusions follow from the results or are there other interpretations that the authors did not consider? Be specific and suggest an experiment that could properly test that alternative explanation.
3. Discuss the limitations of the study or methods. Especially focus on any limitation that they did not mention themselves . In addition, sample size comments also need to be justified in terms of how it impacts the study – do they actually need a larger sample size to answer their research question? All limitations raised need to be discussed with reference to the research question and the statistics/method used.
4. What are consequences and/or impact of the results in the “real world”? Do the authors overstate this importance? Or do they miss important impact they should have written/about? Make sure you can explain how the data/results of the study directly lead to impact in the world or in what way the authors have overstated the studies importance and state what else would need to be done to have real impact.

What is your impression of the situation? Based on the facts at hand, what is your assessment of the problem, and what can be done to improve the situation?

Describe the specific language/narrative skill you will address in DA. For example, if you select creating utterances your goal may be “Assess comprehension of spatial concepts.

For this activity, you will design a DA measure using a mediated learning experience that could be implemented with a preschool or school-aged child referred for concerns with language development. In this hypothetical example, the task will be implemented by an experienced SLP in English, although in this case the child has consistent experience with another language. Make sure you’ve watched the DA video included in the Module Playlist.
DA VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKHQTrd-5FE

Directions:
1. Review the sample Mediated Learning Experience which assesses the child’s ability to follow 3-step directions.

2. Select a language area from this list of general language areas or from this list of narrative abilities.

Describe the specific language/narrative skill you will address in DA. For example, if you select creating utterances your goal may be “Assess comprehension of spatial concepts.”

3. Using the Mediated Learning Experience Template, specify the age of the child you are assessing and state the specific language skill you will assess.

4. Using the template, fill in the text in the “Example” column of the table for each strategy: Intentionality, Meaning, Transcendence, Application, Competence. The script should be appropriate given the age of the child you are assessing .
