TEST OF INTELLECTUAL FUNCTIONING Flashcards
it is a cognitive ability that includes abstract thinking and reasoning, adaptive problemsolving, and the capacity to learn.
Intelligence
Major Types of Intelligence
General Intelligence
Multiple Intelligence
The Triarchic Approach to Intelligence
When was General Intelligence proposed
20th century
The notion of intelligence as a global, general ability- usually referred to as “g”- was based on the observation that almost all tests of cognitive ability are positively correlated.
General Intelligence
Prominent figure in General Intelligence
Charles Spearman
who coined the term Triarchic theory of intelligence
Robert Sternberg
According to Sternberg, there are three basic kinds of intelligence:
Analytical Intelligence
Creative Intelligence
Practical Intelligence
it measured by traditional intelligence tests that would help to solve a physics and evaluate information to solve problems
Analytical Inteligence
is what you would use to compose music or the ability to come up with new ideas.
Creative Intelligence
is defined as the ability that individuals use to find a more optimal fit between themselves and the demands of the environment through adapting, shaping, or selecting a new environment in the pursuit of personally valued goals
Practical Intelligence
He suggested that there are 8 different types of intelligences
Howard Gardner
8 intelligences according to Gardner
VISUAL-SPATIAL
LOGICAL-MATHEMATICAL
LINGUISTIC-VERBAL
BODY-KINESTHETIC
MUSICAL
INTERPRESONAL
INTRAPERSONAL
NATURALISTIC
good at visualizing things. These individuals are often good with directions as well as maps, charts, videos, and pictures.
VISUAL-SPATIAL
able to use words well, both when writing and speaking. These individuals are typically very good at writing stories, memorizing information, and reading.
LINGUISTIC-VERBAL
good at reasoning, recognizing patterns, and logically analyzing problems. These individuals tend to think conceptually about numbers, relationships, and patterns.
LOGICAL-MATHEMATICAL
good at body movement, performing actions, and physical control. People who are strong in this area tend to have excellent hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
BODY-KINESTHETIC
good at thinking in patterns, rhythms, and sounds. They have a strong appreciation for music and are often good at musical composition and performance.
MUSICAL
good at understanding and interacting with other people. These individuals are skilled at assessing the emotions, motivations, desires, and intentions of those around them.
INTERPERSONAL
good at being aware of their own emotional states, feelings, and motivations. They tend to enjoy self-reflection and analysis, including daydreaming, exploring relationships with others, and assessing their personal strengths.
INTRAPERSONAL
more in tune with nature and are often interested in nurturing, exploring the environment, and learning about other species. These individuals are said to be highly aware of even subtle changes to their environments.
NATURALISTIC
known as factor analysis
Hierarchical and Factor-Analytic Models
a French scientist and was not the first person to develop a measure of intelligence, his original test and the revisions based on it have been among the most influential means of assessing the mental ability of children.
ALFRED BINET
The results of this scale were expressed not simply as a mental age score, but as an intelligence quotient (or IQ) which is calculated by dividing mental age (MA) by chronological age (CA) and multiplying by 100.
Stanford-Binet
5 mid-level abilities that is measures by the Stanford-Binet
fluid reasoning, knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing, and working memory.
designed for testing people over the age of 17
It contained verbal and nonverbal (performance) subtests.
scored using a point scale in which the client received credit for each correct answer
Wescler Scales
was originally designed for children from 5 to 15 years old and it appeared in 1949. ● It had 12 subtests (6 verbal, 6 performance), of which only 10 were usually administered
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC)
covers ages 6 to 17 and includes seven standard and nine supplemental subtests that provide a Full Scale IQ and five composite factor scores:
WISC-V
five composite factor scores in WISC
Verbal Comprehension
Visual Spatial
Fluid Reasoning
Working Memory
Processing Speed.
This test was designed for children aged 4 or younger. It uses composite scores to assess a student’s general intellectual ability and cognitive functioning based on their test performance and current age. It can also be used to identify cognitive delays, and learning disabilities and be combined with other tests to assess each child’s level of intellectual giftedness
Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI)
refers to the process of analyzing and understanding the results of an intelligence test in a meaningful way within a clinical or psychological context. This interpretation involves assessing an individual’s cognitive abilities, strengths, and weaknesses based on their test performance
Clinical interpretation of intelligence test scores
Suitable for children 3 to 18 years of age, the test is now in its second edition, the KABC-II.
Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children
based on research and theory in cognitive psychology and neuropsychology. It defines intelligence as the ability to solve new problems (an ability sometimes referred to as fluid intelligence) and also as acquired knowledge of facts (which has been termed crystallized intelligence).
K-ABC-II
The _________________ (18 total, 10 core) are grouped into mid-level composite factor scores, including simultaneous processing, sequential processing, planning, learning, and knowledge.
Kauffman subset
standardized assessment tool designed to measure an individual’s cognitive abilities and intellectual potential. These tests typically consist of a series of questions or tasks that assess various aspects of cognitive functioning, such as problemsolving, reasoning, memory, and language skills.
Intelligence Test
This tests can be viewed as general measures of both aptitude or the capacity to acquire knowledge or skill and achievement or the knowledge or skill that a person has acquired
Aptitude and Achievement Tests
known as SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) predict success in occupations or educational programs by measuring cognitive ability and accumulated effects of various living experiences, aiming to forecast performance based on these effects.
Aptitude test
measure proficiency at certain tasks; that is, they measure how much people know or how well they can perform in specific areas.
Achievement tests
as the ability to solve new problems
Fluid Intelligence
acquired knowledge of facts
crystallized Knowledge
Other popular Test in Achievement Tests
The Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT5)
Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement
(KTEA-3)
Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT-III
