Q

What is the formula for IQ first developed by Simon and Binet?

A

IQ= (MA/CA)x100 *calculate ages in months

23
Q

Why is the IQ formula first developed by Simon and Binet not embraced?

A

The upper limit depends upon the upper age limit for the test. For example, if the items only go up to an age level of 21, anyone with a CA of greater than 21 has to have an IQ of less than 100.

24
Q

_________ reflects knowledge that is acquired.

A

Crystallized intelligence

25
Q

________ is the type of intelligence that reflects problem-solving ability, memory, and learning.

A

Fluid

26
Q

Asking a test taker to identify a common object (which is the result of experience) would reflect________ intelligence.

A

Crystallized

27
Q

Asking a test taker to copy a pattern that is created by the test administrator (which is more the result of general ability and innate skills and talent than experience) would reflect _______ intelligence.

A

Fluid

28
Q

What is the difference between crystallized and fluid intelligence?

A

Fluid intelligence is the ability to solve new problems, use logic in new situations, and identify patterns. In contrast, crystallized intelligence is defined as the ability to use learned knowledge and experience.

29
Q

The oldest and most frequently used intelligence test is the ______. It is designed to assess intellectual ability by testing verbal skills.

A

Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)

30
Q

The _______ test is the most popular of all intelligence tests. It focuses on both verbal and nonverbal tests of intelligence

A

Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (S-B)

31
Q

The ____ was one of the first tests to provide scales for the hearing impaired and non-english speaking children ages 4-12.5/ It assesses cognitive development in 16 subtests, which are grouped into categories that require sequential processing of information and those that require simultaneous processing.

A

Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC)

32
Q

Items in the _____________ test are arranged in order of difficult so that the examiner can get a very quick idea as to test taker’s level of intelligence. It is a quick estimate of general cognitive ability, and is often used as a brief assessment that is followed up by more extensive tests.

A

Slosson Full-Range Intelligence Test (S-FRIT)

33
Q

The __________ is a good predictor of school achievement. It is sometimes used as a screening test for readiness to enter a specific school grade. It was developed to determine general intellectual level as well as strengths and weaknesses in important abilities.

A

McCarthy Scales of Children’s Abilities

34
Q

WAIS-IV stands for what?

A

Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale

35
Q

WISC-IV stands for what?

A

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children

36
Q

WASI stands for what?

A

Wechsler Abbreviates Scale of Intelligence

37
Q

How are IQ tests used in determining learning disabilities? How are achievement tests helpful in comparison?

A

Intelligence tests can show a child’s potential. Achievement tests measure what a child knows and can do. To be diagnosed as learning disabled, there must be a discrepancy between a child’s potential and his achievement. For example, a child might be dyslexic provided there is a discrepancy between his intellectual level and his performance at reading and spelling. By comparing both tests, it may be easier to see the child’s strengths and weaknesses, and better be able to determine any disabilities.

38
Q

What are the two main content areas of the Wechsler scales?

A

Verbal and performance

39
Q

What do we know about the reliability of the wechsler tests?

A

The test is only as good as the person giving it. Different administrators of the test may score the test takers differently, especially in the verbal, performance, and full scale categories. If the administrator is not consistent and well trained to administer the test, the the test will not be reliable.
