Question 11

Documentation Codes

Answer 11

Q-query a response
P-prompt for additional response
R-Repeat directions

Question 12

Block Design*

Answer 12

Measures nonverbal reasoning and visual-spatial organization.
Timed
Dimension error (BDde) - recorded any time they reach 3 or 4 dimensions for a 2 or 3 dimension design. Recorded with D
Score the number of blocks correct, even if overall design is wrong (BDp)
BDn - eliminates bonuses for time
BDre - gives credit for rotated designs (30 degrees)
Discontinue: 2
Basal: 2 consecutive
Just 1 block is half and half (4) - 2 for 9 - at least one red and one white
Prompt for delayed response after 30 second
Scramble blocks after every administration
Incorrect if rotated more than 30 degrees - correct once

Question 13

Similarities*

Answer 13

Similarities measures verbal concept formation.
Child is asked to say how the objects are similar
0 = no similarity
1 = specific property or function in common
2 = general classification of both objects
Basal: 2 consecutive
Discontinue: 3 consecutive
Score the best response if given multiple - exception is if it is spoiled
Unclear response -> tell me more about it or explain what you mean
If they give a word with the same letter -> tell me another way XXX and XXX are alike
1 query for vague answers, multiple queries for indicated answers in book

Question 14

Matrix Reasoning*

Answer 14

Matrix reasoning measures visual-perceptual analogic reasoning
Looks at an incomplete matrix and chooses the missing portion
Basal: 2 consecutive
Discontinue 3 consecutive
After 30 seconds -> do you have an answer, but no time limit

Question 15

Digit Span*

Answer 15

Digit span measures auditory shor-term memory and auditory sequential processing.
Digit forward, Digit backward, Digits sequencing
Everyone starts at 1, so no basal
Discontinue when 0 on both trials
Read at 1 number/second, point to them when done and drop inflection
No repeating
record what child says

Question 16

Coding*

Answer 16

Coding measures the ability to learn an unfamiliar task involving speed of mental operation, graphomotor speed, and visual-perceptual symbol associative skills.
Copy symbols that are paired with other symbols
Different version of instructions and procedures depending on the age
120 seconds (2 minutes)
Eraseless pencils
Rotation of more than 90 degrees is incorrect
CDre = rotation errors
Prompt to go onto the next line if they stop
Must do everything in order
Extra sheet for left-handed

Question 17

Vocabulary*

Answer 17

measures knowledge of words
Basal 2 consecutive
Discontinue after 3 failures
2 point response - good synonym, a major use, one or more distinctive features, or general classification
1 point - loose synonym, minor use, an attribute that is not a distinguishing feature, a concrete instance of a word
0 point - obviously wrong answers vague or answers with a poverty of content, slang
Query responses indicated in the book
Provide corrective feedback for less than perfect score on cross items
Can repeat if it’s misheard

Question 18

Figure Weights*

Answer 18

measures visual-perceptual quantitative reasoning.
Pictures of scales and you need to figure out weights
Time limit depends on question
Basal: 2 consecutive
Discontinue: 3 consecutive

Question 19

Visual Puzzles-

Answer 19

Visual puzzles measures spatial visual-perceptual reasoning. 
Putting together a picture from pieces 
Record time, 30 second limit
Basal - 2 consecutive
Discontinue - 3 consecutive

Question 20

Picture Span-

Answer 20

measures short-term memory and visual working memory.
Remembering the order of pictures.
Basal: 2 consecutive
discontinue: 3 consecutive
2 correct sequence, 1 correct pictures wrong sequence, 0 not selecting all pictures
LPSs = longest picture span stimuli that they got correct
LPSr = longest picture span response that they got correct

Question 21

Symbol Search-

Answer 21

measures processing speed
look at symbols and then decides whether they appear in an array of symbols
120 seconds - 2 minutes
prompt going to the next page

Question 22

Standard Measure and Ranges of Primary Indexes

Answer 22

100 is average, one SD is 15

130+ Extremely High
120-129 Very High
110-119 High Average
90-109 Average
80-89 Low Average
70-79 Very Low
<70 Extremely Low

Question 23

Standard Measure and Ranges of Subtest Scores

Answer 23

Mean 10, SD 3
16-19 Extremely High (exceptional strength or very well developed or superior ability)
13-15 Very High (strength or well-developed or above-average ability)
8-12 average ability
5-7 Weakness or poorly developed or below-average ability
1-4 Extreme weakness or very poorly developed or far below average ability
