1. Identify and rate the complexity of completing Part C.

The first task is to match personal circumstance with any of the ‘situations’ in the checklist, a document use task. The person filling the form would approach the list with a question such as: “Can I claim child care expenses if my partner spent 90 days in jail?” or “Can I claim child care expenses if my partner was in hospital for 2 months?” We can assume inference will be needed for some questions as for example, inferring that a residential addiction treatment centre is similar to a hospital or asylum. Many questions, such as the ones above will involve matching two features such as ‘jail’ and ‘90 days.’ More than one category can be checked, so all have to be considered.

Type of information: situation or condition (attribute) (2) Type of match: cycle (2); independent cycles (0); two feature match (1); perhaps more than one response, not specified (1); inference for given (1); total (5). Distractors: perhaps for given (2)

Line 10 and 11 - Enter number or children from another part of the form and multiply by $175 or $100.

Type of operation: multiplication (3). Specificity of operation: numbers in row and adjacent (0); labels and amounts identified without a search (0); operation identified with a symbol (0); numbers entered from previous task (1) no transformation (0); total (1). Distractors: none (1).

Line 12 - Add amounts from previous entries

Type of operation: addition (1) Specificity of operation: numbers in column and adjacent (0); labels and amounts identified without a search (0); operation identified with a symbol (0); numbers entered from previous task (1) no transformation (0); total (1). Distractors: none (1).
