theorized that each student developed in a linear fashion, w/ some learning + comprehending @ diff speeds
Albert Binet
Binet created a test that assessed the students’ ______ ___

mental age
Binet intended for 1. ________ troubled children for 2. _______ attention and 3. _______ labeling + quantifying humans for 4. _______
- identifying
- focused
- feared
- intellect
expanding on Binet’s ideas and looked for genetic explanation of genetic intelligence
Lewis Terman
Terman attended _________ University
Stanford
Terman created the _______-_______ intelligence quotient (IQ) test
standard-Binet
test that divided the mental age by the chronological age and multiplied the number by 100
IQ test (Standard-Binet)
the IQ test is now measured by being 1. _______ to the 2. _____ age range
- compared
2. same
the formula worked initially, the Standard-Binet IQ test has to be 1. _______ each year to the 2. ________ year’s score due to the 3. ______ ______
- adjusted
- previous
- Flynn Effect
the tendency of (a country’s ) population’s IQ scores to rise over time [in context of when the IQ test was first introduced]
Flynn Effect
Terman also had 1. _______ ambitions, noting higher scores of 2. _______/_______ immigrants (culture in the early 3. ___ C)
- eugenic
- Western/Northern
- 20th
- _________ edu systems focus on developing 2. ________ tests
- modern
2. aptitude
tests that predict a person’s future performance
aptitude tests
the capability to learn
aptitude
what is included in aptitude testing: 1. ________ _______ and 2. _________ over current level of intelligence; measuring 3. _______, 4. ________, and 5. ________ reasoning
- problem solving
- questions
- speed
- accuracy
- inductive
who developed the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)?
David Wechsler
verbal and non-verbal performance tasks for both overall and individual intelligence factors
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)
WAIS scores separate ratings for: 1. _______ comprehension, 2. ________ organization, 3. _________ memory, 4. _________ speed
- verbal
- perceptual
- working
- processing
tasks in a WAIS test are 1. _______ patterns/similarities, aligning 2. ______ similarly, 3. _______ or 4. _________ words, and 5. _______ lists
- finding
- blocks
- defining
- identifying
- memorizing
tests must be 1. _________, 2. _______, and 3. ______
- standardized
- reliable
- valid
performance compared to a presented group/population (usually a bell-curve) —often curved yearly
standardized
IQ increasing in pops over time, but may stabilize or decline –> foods, fam, expansion of edu programs [in terms of testing]
Flynn Effect
if scores of half test, new test, or retest are roughly similar
reliable
extent to which the test actually measures what it is supposed to
valid
ability to measure future learning — fades w/ age when the populations narrow (college students already smart and motivated)
predictive validity
