Members of the Joint Committee for the Revision of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing Named (aera.net)

This work is extremely impactful because this national committee sets standards that govern psychological, cognitive, and aptitude testing. It has far-reaching and practical implications for populations from school-age children to late life assessments for dementia and capacity. The standards impact tests administered in many settings – clinical, educational, legal system, etc.
