Week 10 Intelligence 2

Question 1

What are the two scales for the Multidimensional aptitude battery test?

Answer 1

verbal

performance

Question 2

What is the main point of multi dimensional aptitude battery

Answer 2

it is group-administered

Question 3

When is an example of a parallel test and why is it useful?

Answer 3

ACER qualitative reasoning test, useful when there’s a short period of time between two test situations e.g. test a student at the start of term to compare their progress to the end of term

Question 4

What age group is the ACER qualitative test aimed at?

Answer 4

12-18 years

Question 5

What types of things does it test?

Answer 5

linguistic/quantitative

Question 6

What can sometimes be a problem with linguistic questions?

Answer 6

they are culturally heavy- rely heavily on your linguistic abilities therefore do not actually tap your true intellectual ability

Question 7

What is an example of a cultural light task?

Answer 7

Ravens Progressive Matrices

Question 8

What do cultural loaded tests correlate with and usually involve?

Answer 8

crystallized ability- pen + paper tests, reading required, speeded tests, verbal content

Question 9

What do cultural reduced tests correlate with and usually involve?

Answer 9

fluid ability-performance tests, purely pictorial, nonverbal content, solving novel problems

Question 10

What is the most commonly used intelligence test

Answer 10

Weschler

Question 11

What are the three types of Wechler Scales/what are they called/what age group

Answer 11

1. Wechsler Scale for Preschool & Primary Intelligence 4-7.7 years WPPSI -IV
2. Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children 6.5-16.5 years WISC -V
3. Wechsler Intelligence Scale WAIS -IV for adults 16-18 years

Question 12

How do you choose what Weschler test to use when the ages overlap?

Answer 12

look at their general ability e.g. where they sit in class- if the teacher says they are below average you go with the lower test, average-above go to higher test.

Question 13

What does the Four Factor Model for WAIS IV consist of

Answer 13

1. verbal comprehension e.g. vocab. similarities
2. working memory e.g. arithmetic, digi span
3. perceptual organization e.g. matrix reasoning, visual puzzles
4. processing speed e.g. symbol search, digit symbol

Question 14

What does the five factor model for WAIS IV consist of & what other theory is it related to

Answer 14

1. fluid reasoning
2. crystallised intelligence
3. visual processing
4. processing speed
5. short term memory

Question 15

Why do we not use the Stanford-Binet

Answer 15

because it has no Aus norms

Question 16

How do you report IQ test results

Answer 16

through ranges (e.g. person is in the high range), never report numbers

Question 17

What are the five factors that the Stanford Binet V tests

Answer 17

1. fluid reasoning
2. knowledge
