Glossary Term

Stimulus Equivalence

The concept that different forms of a question or prompt are understood to mean the same thing by participants.

Stimulus equivalence means alternate wordings or presentations are interpreted the same way. For example, swapping puppet order or rephrasing a line should not change the construct being measured.

In our app, we keep item intent stable by standardizing audio, timing, and visuals. Where variants exist, pilots help verify reliability and validity.
