This document accompanies Conceptual Learning and Development Assessment Series II: Cutting Tool, a test constructed to chart the conceptual development of individuals. As a technical manual, it contains information on the rationale, development, standardization, and reliability of the test, as well as essential information and statistical data for evaluating the test. This report is designed to be used by individuals who have a general knowledge of test construction and measurement principles and are aware of the limitations of test interpretations. The authors of this manual have attempted to take into account and satisfy the standards set forth by the American Psychological Association regarding educational and psychological tests. The test is based upon the Conceptual Learning and Development (CLD) Model, which suggest four successive levels of concept learning: (1) concrete--recognizing an object which has been encountered previously; (2) identity--recognizing a known object when it appears in a different spatial, time, or sensory perspective; (3) classificatory--generalizing that two items are alike in some way; and (4) formal--naming and defining the concept, listing its attributes, and judging the presence of such attributes in an object.
