Assessment of Intelligence part 2 Flashcards
What is the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery
The Multidimensional Aptitude Battery II is a group-administered intelligence test which is supposed to measure Verbal and Performance Scales and Full Scale IQ.
Measures multidimensional aptitudes
An example of a verbal question in Multidimensional Aptitude Battery is:
If it costs $8 for two kids to go to the movies, how much does it cost for 3 kids?
An example of a performance question in Multidimensional Aptitude Battery is:
Finding something missing in a picture of a car for instance.
Test retest for verbal is really high correlations.
Performance scale is lower at .8. True or false?
True, verbal scale test retest is higher.
ACER tests is another kind of tests. An example of a subset it measures is …
Qualitative reasoning. Relies heavily on linguistic ability as maths contextualised in a story (confusing).
Is ultimately a quantitative and linguistic test, mixed
What does ACER stand for?
Australian council of educational research
What does ACER do?
sell all psychological tests and make them
for all those groups
An example of linguistic reasoning test from ACER?
Two of the following are alike in some way, choose the odd words out.
69, beast with 2 backs, who let the dogs out.
Ravens Progressive Matrices is what kind of a test?
What type of intelligence does it measure?
Is it culturally loaded?
What is advanced plus?
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.
Characteristics of a culturally loaded test?
What type of intelligence does it measure? Fluid/crystal?
CRYSTALLISED INTELLIGENCE pen and paper tests reading required written responses speeded tests verbal content recall of past learned information
Characteristics of a culturally reduced test?
What type of intelligence does it measure? Fluid/crystal?
FLUID INTELLIGENCE performance tests purely pictorial oral responses power tests nonverbal content solving novel problems
What are the WECHSLER INTELLIGENCE SCALES??
Most commonly used INDIVIDUAL IQ tests.
WPPSI -IV
What does it stand for?
What age group is it used for?
Wechsler Scale for Preschool and Primary Intelligence
4 – 7.7 year olds
WISC-V
What does it stand for?
What age group is it used for?
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children
6.5 - 16.5 year olds
WAIS-IV
What does it stand for?
What age group is it used for?
Weschler Intelligence Scale for Adults
16 - 89 years old
Bill is 17 and is having enormous difficulties at school, which test would I administer to him?
WISC.
Activities in WAIS-IV to test the ‘perceptual organisation’ subset?
- 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)
Activities in WAIS-IV to test the ‘processing speed’ subset?
- Symbol Search
- Digit Symbol
- (Cancellation)
Activities in WAIS-IV to test the ‘Working Memory’ subset?
- 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
Activities in WAIS-IV to test the ‘Verbal Comprehension’ subset?
- 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?
TWO FACTORIAL MODELS OF THE WAIS-IV HAVE BEEN PROPOSED SO FAR - what are they?
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.
What does the 5 factor model of the WAIS-iv include?
hint 5 factors lol
FIVE FACTOR MODEL
Fluid Reasoning (Gf) Crystallised Intelligence (Gc) Visual Processing (Gv) Processing Speed (Gs)
Short Term Memory (Gsm)
What does the 4 factor model of the WAIS-iv include?
hint 4 factors hehe
FOUR FACTOR MODEL
Verbal Comprehension Perceptual Reasoning Working Memory Processing Speed
What do figure weights, block design and picture completion test?
Perceptual reasoning
Symbol search and cancellation are exercises that both test…
processing speed
Normal distributions of IQ scores for the population have a mean of…. and a SD of…
mean of 100 and SD of 15
Give an example of using confidence intervals to tell a mother their son’s IQ.
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.
Words to describe people well below the mean?
mentally retarded
developmentally/intellectually disabled
Words to describe people well above the mean?
high achievers
gifted
The most POPULAR IQ test alternative to the WESCHLER in oz is..
the Stanford Binet V
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
Stanford's features: Gf Fluid Intelligence Gc Crystallised Intelligence Gc Crystallised Intelligence Gv Visual Perception Gsm Short Term memory
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
the Woodcock Johnston III
What’s a key difference btn Weshcler’s iq tests and Stanford Binet’s?
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.
Another difference btn Weschler’s iq tests and Stanford’s in terms of IQ range?
Stanford’s: goes up to 180 IQ (a lot more than Wechler).
Stanford has a verbal and nonverbal section. Can you remember any components of each of these?
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
IMPORTANT NOTE TO CONSIDER FOR THIS DECK
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.
