This free interactive workshop provides a practical introduction to the methodological foundations of using cognitive tests in research. Participants will explore what constitutes a cognitive test, how cognitive constructs are operationalized, and which core characteristics determine test quality, including reliability, validity, and sensitivity.
On 28 April, Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) hosted a visiting session of the Sports Subcommittee and the Higher Education, Science, and Human Capital Subcommittee of the Saeima Education, Culture, and Science Committee.
