As pointed out by I. M. Evans and Nelson (1977), interview data based on retrospective reports may possess both low validity (the recollection does not correspond with the known facts) and low reliability (information from one interview does not agree with that from another or the parents report markedly different recollections). Such "distorted" recollections may result not only in delayed clarification of presenting complaints and formulation of treatment strategies but also, and perhaps just as importantly, in perception of the parents, both by themselves and by their therapists, as the culprits or scapegoats in the etiology of the child's problem.

Such a situation should lead to rapid extinction of the avoidance response. However, avoidance responses are highly resistant to extinction (Solomon, Kamin, & Wynne, 1953). , Hull's model) also fail to account for avoidance learning since these models assume that learning occurs because the termination of the noxious unconditioned stimulus reinforces the avoidance response. , shock) in the learning situation but also eliminates the reinforcement that is directly contingent on the occurrence of the drive state.

Observation of testtaking behavior provides a source of data about the child that may supplement information obtained during the interview and from the checklists and may be helpful in treatment programming. Standardized tests are also useful in comparing the individual child to group norms. Such norms provide sociocultural and age-appropriate standards of comparison and assist the clinician in determining the degree of impairment or developmental delay exhibited by the individual child. Such norms may also indicate that the child does not exhibit a problem in the area assessed by the tests and that other hypotheses should be examined.
