This study developed an assessment of ideational praxis, examined its psychometric properties, and analyzed age and gender trends in children who were typically developing.
Part 1 developed items and scoring criteria of the Test of Ideational Praxis (TIP) and examined interrater reliability and internal consistency. Part 2 studied performance of 80 typically developing children between ages 5 and 8 years.
The TIP demonstrated acceptable interrater reliability (ICC = .85) and internal consistency (coefficient alpha = .74). Children who were typically developing demonstrated age and gender trends. Girls scored higher than boys, and older children scored higher than younger children.
The TIP is the first objective assessment for identification of ideational abilities and is a reliable assessment tool. Further research is needed to validate the construct of ideation and examine the TIP's ability to discriminate between children with and without ideational difficulties.
本研究开发了一种观念实践评估方法，检验了其心理测量特性，并分析了发育正常儿童的年龄和性别趋势。
第一部分开发了观念实践测试（TIP）的项目和评分标准，并检验了评分者间信度和内部一致性。第二部分研究了80名5至8岁发育正常儿童的表现。
TIP表现出可接受的评分者间信度（ICC = 0.85）和内部一致性（α系数 = 0.74）。发育正常的儿童表现出年龄和性别趋势。女孩得分高于男孩，年龄较大的儿童得分高于年龄较小的儿童。
TIP是首个用于识别观念能力的客观评估方法，是一种可靠的评估工具。需要进一步研究以验证观念结构，并检验TIP区分有和没有观念困难儿童的能力。
