16
Q

Intellectual functioning prior to an accaident or the onset of neurological decline

A

premorbid IQ

17
Q

How is intelligence assessed?

A

through an intelligence scale, self-monitoring data, and interviews with relevant others

18
Q

What is required for a diagnosis of an intellectual disability

A

IQ in the lowest 2%, impairments in self-care, social skills, home living, and work, and substancial difference between intelligence expectated at the developmental stage

19
Q

The Wechsler to assess individuals from 16 to 60

A

WAIS-IV

20
Q

Wechsler intelligence scale designed for children and adolescents 6 to 16 years

A

WISC-V

21
Q

Wechsler intelligence scale for preschool from 2 years 6 months to 7 years old

A

WPPSI-IV

22
Q

Four reasons why the Wechsler is the gold standard

A
  1. most commonly taught
  2. testing across the age range
  3. multiple versions specifically for Canada
  4. Draw on contemporary research
23
Q

What did the early versions of the Wechslers provide scores for?

A

verbal, non-verbal (performance), and the sum of the whole performance called full scale IQ

24
Q

What does the modern Wechsler provide scores for?

A

verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed

25
Q

Why is it important for the Wechsler to be country specific?

A

Every country has different characteristics that might change the normative sample that the “average” is taken from

26
Q

the extent to which a sample reflects the characteristics of the population from which it is drawn

A

representativeness

27
Q

What is one main problem of the Wechsler?

A

it only examine academic intelligence ability

28
Q

How is the Wechsler administered?

A

Administered in an interview setting with a psychologist and client going over the questions together

29
Q

Why is it important for the administering of the Wechsler to be the same every time?

A

so the test scores are meaningful and can be interpreted the same as all the others

30
Q

How is answers from the Wechsler interpreted?

A

An answer is scored based on a manual of standardized answers and scores associated with the comprehension level of the answer

31
Q

What is the general strategy for scoring?

A

move from the general implications of the answer to the specific

32
Q

How was the Canadian version of the Wechsler made?

A
  1. compare canada normative date to American group
  2. map the distribution
  3. mark into standard scores
33
Q

What is different in the WAIS-IV?

A
  1. age range extended
  2. index scores replaced the verbal and performance quotients
  3. French-Canadian version
34
Q

What scales does the WAIS-IV include?

A

Verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning , working memory and processing speed

35
Q

What is different about the WISC-V?

A
  1. enhancing ability to detect learning disorders
  2. more subtests related to clinical concerns
  3. Simplified the questions
  4. more engaging for children
36
Q

What does the WISC-V include?

A

verbal comprehension, visual-spacial, fluid reasoning, working memory, and processing speed

37
Q

An intelligence test that focuses on how children and adults learn

A

Kaufman Adolescent and Ault intelligence test

38
Q

A scale that estimates memory related abilities like semantic and episodic memory

A

Wechsler Memory scale
