Question 11

Comprehension and Knowledge (Gc) aka Crystalized Intelligence

Answer 11

Refers to verbal reasoning and concept formation based on previously learned information.
It includes the ability to communicate thoughts clearly, as well as general understanding of spoken language.

Question 12

Fluid Reasoning (Gf)

Answer 12

Refers to a student’s novel reasoning and problem solving, or their ability to solve problems that are unfamiliar

Question 13

Visual Processing (Gv)

Answer 13

Refers to the general ability to reason and solve abstract, picture‐oriented problems

Question 14

Auditory Processing (Ga)

Answer 14

Is the ability to perceive, analyze, and synthesize a variety of auditory information.
This includes phonetic coding, which is the ability to recognize and process subtle differences between speech sounds. Phonetic coding in particular is important for the acquisition of reading skills.

Question 15

Learning Efficiency and Retrieval (Glr)
Aka
Long term Storage and Retrieval

Answer 15

Refers to a student’s ability to store, consolidate, and retrieve information and fluently retrieve from long‐term memory.

Question 16

Processing Speed (Gs)

Answer 16

Is the ability to perform simple tasks quickly and fluently, especially when under pressure to maintain attention and concentration.

Question 17

General Working Memory (Gwm)
Aka
Short-term Working Memory

Answer 17

Is the ability to hold information in immediate awareness and use or transform it within a few seconds. Working memory requires the student to manipulate the information prior to responding and involves attention and concentration.

Question 18

Attention and Executive Functioning (EF)

Answer 18

Refers to a set of processes that have to do with managing oneself and one’s resources in order to achieve a goal. It is an umbrella term for the neurologically‐based skills involving mental control and self‐regulation.
The cognitive processes of executive functioning include initiation, working memory, planning and organization, task monitoring, sustained attention, and organization of materials.
