True, verbal scale test retest is higher.

Question 5

ACER tests is another kind of tests. An example of a subset it measures is …

sell all psychological tests and make them

for all those groups

69, beast with 2 backs, who let the dogs out.

Question 9

Ravens Progressive Matrices is what kind of a test?
What type of intelligence does it measure?
Is it culturally loaded?
What is advanced plus?

Answer 9

RPM is a nonverbal group test typically used in educational settings. It is usually a 60-item test used in measuring abstract reasoning and regarded as a non-verbal estimate of fluid intelligence.

Measures fluid intelligence: fill in space in pattern.

No not culturally loaded.

A version that is for the best of the best students.

recall of past learned information

Question 11

Characteristics of a culturally reduced test?

What type of intelligence does it measure? Fluid/crystal?

Answer 11

Question 16

Bill is 17 and is having enormous difficulties at school, which test would I administer to him?

Answer 16

WISC.

Question 17

Activities in WAIS-IV to test the ‘perceptual organisation’ subset?

Answer 17

• Matrix Reasoning ( It usually involves a series of figures in which there is a pattern, with one figure in the series left blank.)
• Visual Puzzles
• Block Design
• (Picture Completion)

Question 18

Activities in WAIS-IV to test the ‘processing speed’ subset?

Answer 18

• Symbol Search
• Digit Symbol
• (Cancellation)

Question 19

Activities in WAIS-IV to test the ‘Working Memory’ subset?

Answer 19

• Arithmetic-Ifyouhave3 books and I give away 1, how many are left?
• Digit Span - repeating lists of numbers forward and backwards
• (Letter-Number Sequencing - Remembering sequences of letters and numbers

Question 20

Activities in WAIS-IV to test the ‘Verbal Comprehension’ subset?

Answer 20

• Similarities - How are a pear and a pomegranate alike?
• Information - Who is Ghenghis Khan?
• (Comprehension - Why do we wash clothes?)• •Vocabulary-What does ship mean?

Question 21

TWO FACTORIAL MODELS OF THE WAIS-IV HAVE BEEN PROPOSED SO FAR - what are they?

Answer 21

A TRADITIONAL 4 FACTOR MODEL AND A 5 FACTOR MODEL BASED ON THE CARROLL MODEL OF IQ.

Perceptual reasoning was split into two halves: fluid reasoning and visual processing.

Question 22

What does the 5 factor model of the WAIS-iv include?

hint 5 factors lol

Answer 22

FIVE FACTOR MODEL
Fluid Reasoning (Gf) Crystallised Intelligence (Gc) Visual Processing (Gv) Processing Speed (Gs)
Short Term Memory (Gsm)

Question 23

What does the 4 factor model of the WAIS-iv include?

hint 4 factors hehe

Answer 23

FOUR FACTOR MODEL

Verbal Comprehension Perceptual Reasoning Working Memory Processing Speed

Question 24

What do figure weights, block design and picture completion test?

Answer 24

Perceptual reasoning

Question 25

Symbol search and cancellation are exercises that both test…

Answer 25

processing speed

Question 26

Normal distributions of IQ scores for the population have a mean of…. and a SD of…

Answer 26

mean of 100 and SD of 15

Question 27

Give an example of using confidence intervals to tell a mother their son’s IQ.

Answer 27

Never actually say exact score. Just say where they are comparatively. Just say high average to superior range.
We tell them a range because mum’s dont understand confidence intervals e.g. we are 95% sure your son lies between.. etc.

Question 28

Words to describe people well below the mean?

Answer 28

mentally retarded

developmentally/intellectually disabled

Question 29

Words to describe people well above the mean?

Answer 29

high achievers

gifted

Question 30

The most POPULAR IQ test alternative to the WESCHLER in oz is..

Answer 30

the Stanford Binet V

Question 31

The Stanford Binet V assesses 5 factors which can be related to Carrols model in the following way: (match them up)
Carrols features: 
•  Fluid Reasoning
•  Knowledge
•  Quantitative Reasoning 
•  Visuo-Spatial Reasoning 
•  Working Memory

Answer 31

Stanford's features:
Gf Fluid Intelligence
Gc Crystallised Intelligence 
Gc Crystallised Intelligence 
Gv Visual Perception
Gsm Short Term memory

Question 32

none of these tests we’ve seen measure more than 5 of the 8 broad abilities in tier 2 of Carrolls model. What is the name of one that is not used in Australia, but tests all 8? sexc

Answer 32

the Woodcock Johnston III

Question 33

What’s a key difference btn Weshcler’s iq tests and Stanford Binet’s?

Answer 33

Weschler: your age determines where you start on test
Stanford: not about age, performance on a mini prelim test “ROUTING TEST”, determines where you start.

Question 34

Another difference btn Weschler’s iq tests and Stanford’s in terms of IQ range?

Answer 34

Stanford’s: goes up to 180 IQ (a lot more than Wechler).

Question 35

Stanford has a verbal and nonverbal section. Can you remember any components of each of these?

Answer 35

VERBAL
Knowledge/Vocabulary 
Verbal Analogies 
Quantitative Reasoning 
Position and Direction 
Last Word

NON VERBAL
Object Series/Matrices 
Picture Absurdities 
Quantitative Reasoning 
Form Patterns
Working Memory

Question 36

IMPORTANT NOTE TO CONSIDER FOR THIS DECK

Answer 36

While this deck covers everything in the lecture, it’s important to be able to identify what each subtest activity is testing. Go through the lecture again to try and identify them all.
