Scoring Support

D-KEFS

For the letter "A" fluency, an examinee responded with a Spanish word ("azul").

If a participant has a set loss error for condition one sorting into 3 groups, but labels the 3 groups correctly, how do you classify the description score, is it 3 incorrect descriptions?

If the child goes over the time limit, does this entire time contribute to the “total item completion times” figure?

Incorrect Descriptions: "It says that specific descriptions that are inaccurate, non-target responses are scored as one incorrect description..."

Is the cumulative sorting time the time it took to reach a discontinue criterion or the time it takes to the last attempted sort?

Letter Fluency. Under "F", the patient stated "fur ball".

The examinee sorts the cards the same way, but gives a different explanation. How is this handled?
