AI Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the reliability and impact of clinical judgment in tailoring home visit frequency for a prevention program aimed at aggressive-disruptive children.
- The research compared two types of clinical judgment: specific ratings of parental functioning and broader assessments of family needs.
- Findings indicated that more specific ratings were more reliable and led to better outcomes in the intervention by the end of 3rd grade, unlike the more general assessments.
Article Abstract
Although clinical judgment is often used in assessment and treatment planning, rarely has research examined its reliability, validity, or impact in practice settings. This study tailored the frequency of home visits in a prevention program for aggressive- disruptive children (n = 410; 56% minority) on the basis of 2 kinds of clinical judgment: ratings of parental functioning using a standardized multi-item scale and global assessments of family need for services. Stronger reliability and better concurrent and predictive validity emerged for the 1st kind of clinical judgment than for the 2nd. Exploratory analyses suggested that using ratings of parental functioning to tailor treatment recommendations improved the impact of the intervention by the end of 3rd grade but using more global assessments of family need did not.

The question we addressed in the current study is whether the mere prospect of monetary reward gain affects subjective time perception. To test this question, we collected trial-based confidence reports in a task where participants made categorical decisions about probe durations relative to the reference duration. When there was a potential to gain a monetary reward, the duration was perceived to be longer than in the neutral condition.
