Block Design (WISC-V) Flashcards
When do you discontinue?
After two consecutive scores of 0
When do you reverse?
If a child aged 8-16 does not obtain a perfect score on either of the first two items given, administer the preceding items in reverse order until the child obtains perfect scores on two consecutive items.
Where do you start?
Ages 6-7 start on item 1. Ages 8-16 start on item 3.
What is a rotation error?
A pronounced rotation of 30 degrees or more in the child’s construction at the time limit is considered a rotation error.
How do you correct a rotation error?
Correct in the first rotation error. Rotate the constructed design to the correct position and say, “See, it goes this way.”
What are Gaps and Misalignments?
Gaps or misalignments that are less than or equal to 1/4inch (approximately 1/4 the length or width of a block) are not penalized. Only gaps or misalignments that exceed 1/4inch and remain uncorrected at the time limit are penalized.
What is a dimension error?
A dimension error occurs when the max dimension for a square- or diamond-shaped design is exceeded at any time during the child’s construction.
How do you score a dimension error?
Only the design with dimension errors that remain uncorrected at the time limit are penalized. Always record if a student made a dimension error on the record form even if it is not penalized.
How do you score rotation, gap, or misalignment errors?
These errors are always zero.
What errors constitute a score of zero?
Rotation, gap, or misalignment errors. faulty construction or exceeding the time limit.
How do you score items 1-3?
Score 2 points if the child constructs the design correctly within the time limit on Trial 1.
Score 1 point if the child constructs the design correctly within the time limit on Trial 2.
Score 0 points if the child does not construct the design correctly within the time limit on Trial 1 or 2.
How do you score items 4-9?
Score 4 points if the child constructs the deign correctly within the time limit.
Score 0 points if the child does not construct the design correctly within the time limit.
How do you score items 10-13?
Score 4, 5, 6, or 7 points if the child constructs the design correctly within the time limit.
Score 0 points if the child does not construct the design correctly within the time limit.
What is The Block Design No Time Bonus (BDn)?
BDn total raw score is derived from a total raw score that does not include time bonus points.
Max BDn total raw score: 46 points
What is The Block Design Partial (BDp)?
BDp total raw score is derived from the total number of correctly placed blocks for all items (including reversal items), and time-bonus points awarded for items 10-13.
Max BDp total raw score: 82 points with time bonus.
