Time to Stop Executing the Mentally Retarded--The Case for Applying the Standard Error of Measurement

I am pleased to announce that the following IAP Applied Psychometrics 101 (#11) report is now available for viewing and download. I had the unique opportunity to tag along on this paper with Kevin Foley, who is conducting extensive research and writing re: Atkins MR/ID cases. This manuscript is intended more for individuals in the legal profession (judges, lawyers) and is thus written in law review review article format.

Although this report is intended primary for readers of the ICDP blog, I am also posting it to the IQ's Corner blog as those readers may find the attempt to explain SEM in terms understandable by non-psychologists of interest.
