Q

What are the steps with interpreting the PAI

A
  1. look at the validity scales
  2. compare scores against community norms.
    (if in clinical range then use clinical norms)
    a score of 70t is roughly 96th percentile (unusual in general population – clinical)
  3. interpret the individual scales and their component parts (examine them)

Tell the child that you are going to show him or her some blocks, ask some questions, and look at some pictures. Try to avoid the phrase intelligence test
46
A six year old child suspected of having an intellectual delay presents for assessment? What test would you use? WISC- V, beginning with the 6-year-old (lowest age) start point or WPPSI IV?
To ensure the availability of a sufficient number of items to assess a child’s ability adequately, the WPPSI-IV should be used with 6-year-olds who are below the average range because it provides significantly easier items than the WISC-V

 Coding  Symbol Search  Cancellation
51
WISC: What should you do if you are not certain if the discontinue rule has been met?
Be careful not to discontinue prematurely. Administer additional items until you are certain the discontinue criterion has been met. If, after review, you find that the child was given items beyond the point at which testing should have been discontinued, award no points for those items, beyond the correct discontinue pint, even if the child’s responses would ordinarily have earned credit.

  E.g., “Tell me more about ...” or “Explain what you mean ...”

127
PAI average T score and SD?
Mean: 50 / SD 10
128
PAI: what does a T score of 60 (84th percentile) mean
experiencing symptoms greater than the general population. clinically significant
129
PAI: what does a T score of 70 (98th percentile) mean?
2 SD above mean. Clinically significant.
130
which one of the following is a core subtest in the WAIS-IV: 1. visual puzzles 2. letter number sequencing 3. picture completion 4. comprehension 5. figure weights
1. visual puzzles
131
when do you do the reverse rule for WAIs and WISC
when either of the first 2 items is incorrect. this is until there is perfect score on 2 consequtive items. sample items are not part of the reverse sequence procedure.
132
when is the discontinue rule for block design
after 2 consecutive scores of 0
133
WAIS: core subtests for VCI (3)
similarities vocabulary information
134
WAIS: core subtests for PRI (3)
block design matrix reasoning visual puzzles
135
WAIS: core subtests for WMI (2)
digit span arithmetic
136
WAIS: core subtests for PSI (2)
symbol search coding
137
what degree is a rotation error in block design
30 degrees
138
what is the GAI comprised of in the WISC
COGNITIVE ABILITIES * The GAI provides an estimate of general intellectual ability, with reduced emphasis on working memory and processing speed relative to the FSIQ. can only use GAI when difference too large between either WMI / PSI and the other indexes. Can't interpret GAI if difference too great between VCI, VSI, FRI
139
what is the CPI comprised of in the WISC
The CPI is the counterpart to the GAI. It is derived from the core Working Memory and Processing Speed subtests. EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING - less influence on intelligence but helps you manage intelligence * Theoretically, the CPI represents an individual’s proficiency at cognitive processing. * Efficient cognitive processing frees-up cognitive resources for more complex or higher-level tasks
140
what are the steps to interpreting the WAIS-IV
1. report standard scores (FSIQ and indexes) and subtest scale scores 2. determine best way to summarise overall ability (FSIQ or GAI) 3. determne whether the difference between the person's GAI and CPI is unusually large 4. determine whether each of the four indexes is unitary, and thus interpretable. 5. determine normative strengths and weaknesses.
141
what questions on the WISC-V do you start on with block design for a 6-7 yr / and a 8 yr old
6-7: start at item 1 8 yr: start at item 3 Item 3 has 2 trials. if they get 1 wrong say watch me again and do trial 2. if they get it right reverse rule to item 2
142
what item do you do next if child gets item 3, trial 1 correct in WISC-V
move to item 4. Don't need to do second trial.
143
what is the score range for average IQ
90-109
144
what are the steps with interpreting the WISC-V
1. determine the best way (s) to describe overall interlectual ability. 2. conduct an analysis of primary index scores
145
WISC: 10 core subtests?
VCI; similarities (F) / vocabulary (F) VSI: block design (F) / visual puzzles FRI; matrix (F) / figure weights (F) WMI; digit span (F) / and picture span PSI; coding (F) and symbol search
146
what is a percentile
The most common definition of a percentile is a number where a certain percentage of scores fall below that number Imagine that the height of a group of people is the set of data to study. If a height of 1.75 m is at P80 (80th percentile), it means that 80% of the people in the group are 1.75 or less.
147
how many substituions per index scores are allowed on the WIAS
one 1 per index
148
under what circumstances can you do 2 substitutions for FSIQ
when a subtest is invalidated or bcause the person's pshysical condition interferes with performance.
149
when do you interpret the GAI with caution on the WAIS
when the difference between VCI and PRI is significant (23 or more)
