Intelligence Tests Flashcards
Primary Mental Abilities Test (Thurstone)
Consisted of separate tests, each designed to measure one PMA: verbal meaning, perceptual speed, reasoning, number facility, role memory, word fluency, and spatial relations
Binet-Simon Scale (Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon)
- World’s first formal test of intelligence (1965)
- to screen developmentally disabled children in Paris schools
Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Terman)
- First published intelligence test to provide organized and detailed administration and scoring instructions
- first American to employ concept of IQ and alternate item
- Has 2 equivalent forms L and M (1937)
Revisions made in Stanford Binet- III 1960
- consisted of only a single form (labeled L-M)
- used of the deviation IQ tables in place of the ratio IQ tables
Ratio of testtaker’s mental age divided by his or her chronological age multiplied by 100
Ratio IQ
Comparison of the performance of the individual with the performance of others of the same age in the standardization sample
Deviation IQ
Stanford-Binet-IV revision
- point scale
- based on Cattell-Horn model
Stanford-Binet 5th revision
- designed for administration to assess young as 2 to 85+ years of age
- based on CHC model
- reliability coefficient is high
- uses CAT
A task used to direct or route the examinee to a particular level of questions
Routing test
Found in routing tests which are designed to illustrate the task required and assure the examiner that the examinee understands
Teaching items
Used to describe a subtest with reference to a specific test taker’’s performance
Basal level (basehan if dapat pa ba mucontinue sa subtests)
Wechsler tests
- all are point scales (rather than age scale) that yield deviation IQs with a mean of 100 and a SD of 15
- testtaker’s performance is compared with scores earned by others in that age group
Wechsler’s first effort to measure adult intelligence but was poorly standardized
Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence (WBI)
History of WAIS tests
- WAIS-III was co normed with the WMS (Wechsler Memory Scale 3)
- The notion of WORKING MEMORY is one of the most important innovations on the WAIS-III
- organized into verbal and performance tests
WAIS-IV revisions
- made up of subtests that are designated either as a core or supplemental
- improvements in terms of floor and ceiling effect over predecessors
- 4 factors: Verbal comprehension, working memory, perceptual reasoning, processing speed
A test score derived from the combination of a mathematical transformation of one or more subtest scores
Test composite
WISC-IV revisions
- a Symbol Search subtest was introduced in the WISC-III, as a result of research of controlled attention and was thought to tap freedom from distractibility
- most noteworthy introduction is a noticeable warning to the CHC model –believed ‘g’ to be very much alive and well in the major instruments designed to measure intelligence
- does not yield separate verbal and performance IQ scores
First major intelligence test that adequately sampled the total population of the US including racial minorities
Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI-III)
-extend range downward (2 yrs and 6 mons)
A test that has been abbreviated in length to reduce the need for test administration, scoring and interpretation
Short form
-Ex. Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of intelligence (short instrument to screen intellectual ability in testtakers from 6-89 yrs of age
Individual intelligence tests
Kaufman Assessment battery (luria)
Goodenough-harris scoring system (paper and pencil rendering a human figure and other drawings)
Group intelligence tests
Army alpha and beta
school ability tests
An instrument or procedure used to identify a particular trait or constellation of traits at a gross or imprecise level
Screening tool
Individual assessment simultaneously administered in a group
testakers seated at a computer station
Rarely tapped in intelligence tests
Measure of creativity
-4 measures: originality, elaboration, fluency, flexibility
Accdg. to Guilford, tasks designed to measure creativity are __ and __
consequences and unusual cues
