CHC theory describes what? How many levels and what are they?

Answer 2

CHC is a theory of intelligence that has three stratum’s. This theory does include a G factor of intelligence.

There are 8 broad abilities: fluid intel-
ligence, crystallized intelligence, general memory and learning, visual perception,

auditory perception, retrieval capacity, cognitive speediness, and processing speed

Question 3

CHC theory often infludes which 9 abilities

Answer 3

Crystallized
Intelligence (Gc), Fluid Intelligence (Gf), Quantitative Reasoning (Gq), Reading and
Writing Ability (Grw), Short-Term Memory (Gsm), Long-Term Storage and Retrieval
(Glr), Visual Processing (Gv), Auditory Processing (Ga), and Processing Speed (Gs)

Question 14

Leiter international Performance
and
Universal Nonverbal Test. What are they used for?

Answer 14

These tests are nonverbal and therefore better when someone is not an english speaker or if lower functioning language.
Skew toward younger ages

Halstead Category Test (abstract learning ability), Tactual Performance Test, 
Speech-Sounds Perception Test, 
Seashore Rhythm Test, 
the Finger Tapping Test (fine motor), 
and the Trail Making Test
Lateral Dominance Exam.

Question 17

Mini mental state exam

Answer 17

Often used to screen for dementia. 30 items. Assesses different cog function ranging from orientation to place, recall, repetition, language, and complex commands.
Scores of 24 and above are normal. 23-19 mild, 10-18, moderate, 9 or lower is severe

Question 18

Wisconsin card sort

Answer 18

A set shifting test, assesses flexibility to change behavior (to update response pattern) when rules change. As a result it is relevant when there are problems to the frontal lobe (not used exclusively for diagnosis).

Question 19

Neuropsychological assessment for kids as young as 3. 6 domains.

Question 20

Kaufman test of educational achievement

Answer 20

Co-normed with Kaufman assessment Battery for kids (KABC). its about academics…

Question 21

WIAT Wechsler Achievement test

Answer 21

Question 22

Curriculum vs. Performance based assessment

Answer 22

Curriculum-based measurement is the regular assessment of children with
short standardized and validated measures for the purpose of monitoring the
development and mastery of academic skills. Performance-based measurement
involves the evaluation of an individual’s ability to perform a specific skill or
produce a specific item or skill.
