Responsible use and Testing Standards

NeuroTrace guidance is informed by the 2014 Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, jointly published by AERA, APA, and NCME. This does not certify compliance and is not evidence of clinical validity, diagnostic accuracy, psychometric reliability, subgroup fairness, or population generalization.

Standards-derived product principles​

  • Provide accessible advance information about purpose, process, intended use, confidentiality, accommodations, results, and applicable consent conditions.
  • Reduce construct-irrelevant barriers and evaluate accessibility and fairness rather than assuming them.
  • Use established administration procedures and document material deviations.
  • Restrict interpretation to qualified users using multiple relevant information sources.
  • Never let computer-generated interpretation replace professional judgment.
  • Protect test results, identifying data, recordings, and protected task materials.

Authoritative source​

The published Standards remain authoritative. The official open-access hub provides the 2014 edition in English and Spanish in PDF, PDF eBook, and ePub formats:
