Application of process models in assessment psychology: potential assets and challenges
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to examine the more salient assets inherent in process models in assessment psychology, the barriers to its implementation and possible methods to resolve the problem. Potential application samples, which take into account one representative distribution instead of multiple distributions, are described. Results indicate that stochastic quantitative models may represent the premier analytic tack to capturing genuinely dynamic features of clinical processes.

Introduction to the special section on process models in psychological assessment
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to characterize stochastic process frameworks and their applications in assessment psychology. The dynamic properties of the model were examined based on the specific time and time-related variables they accommodate. Assessment problems correlating with process-model analysis were also analyzed. In addition, parametric and nonparametric characterization of probability distributions related to clinically critical phenomena were examined.

Application of process models in assessment psychology: potential assets and challenges
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the relevance of quantitative models of probabilistic processes to clinical phenomena that unfold over time. Some of the clinical phenomena considered in the study include remission processes, accumulation of objective cost and subjective stress of treatment delay, and psychopathology-related deviations in cognitive operations. The application of process models in clinical-assessment settings were also examined.
