General Timing

30 seconds

Queries

marginal, vague, incomplete, unclear, or generalized response. Tell me more, Explain what you mean.

Prompts

used to teach or remind child of task > only mark one bug

Repetitions

Instructions can be repeated as often as requested. Best practice to repeat after 5-10 seconds if no response. Do not stop timer.

Recording Responses

Q, P, R, DK, NR

Information

Child answers questions about general knowledge topics. Verbal Comprehension. Discontinue 3.

Similarities

Child identifies how two pictures or words are similar. Verbal Comprehension. Discontinue 3. Possible scores of 0 1 2 for verbal items.

Block Design

Timed (30-90 sec). Child views model/picture to recreate design in block. Record and correct degree rotation for part A, correct again in part b, but it's wrong. (30 degrees). Gaps and misalignments need to be greater than 1/4 inch. Visual Spatial. Discontinue 2.

Object Assembly

Child assembles the pieces of a puzzle to create a representation of an identified object. Timed - 90 seconds. 12 and 13 half points - round up. Rows of three. Visual Spatial. Discontinue 2.

Matrix Reasoning

Child selects picture that completes the matrix. Fluid Reasoning. Discontinue 3.

Picture Concepts

Child is presented with two or three rows of pictures and selects one picture from each row to form a group with a common characteristic. Fluid Reasoning. Discontinue 3.

Picture Memory

The child views a stimulus page of pictures for a specified time and then selects these pictures from options on a response page. Expose 3-5 sec. Working Memory.

Zoo Locations

The child views animal cards on a zoo layout for a specified time, and then places each card in the previously viewed location. 3-5 sec exposure. Working Memory. 2 discontinue.

Bug Search

Examiner needs to turn page. Similar to symbol search. Timed (120 sec). The child marks the bug in the search group that matches the target bug. Need to practice dauber first. Points off for wrong mark. Processing Speed.

Cancellation

Timed (45 sec for each item). Child scans two arrangements of objects (one random, one structured) and marks target objects. Examiner turns pages. Loses points for marks on a non-target. Processing Speed.

Range of scores and interpretation Primary Indexes

``` Mean 100 SD 15 130+ Very Superior 120-129 Superior 110-119 High Average 90-109 Average 80-89 Low Average 70-79 Borderline Impaired <70 Extremely low ```

Ranges of scores and interpretation Subtest Scaled Scores

Mean of 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 (adequately developed) 5-7 Below Average (weakness or poorly developed) 1-4 Far Below Average (extreme weakness or very poorly developed)

Ability to analyze and synthesize abstract visual stimuli

Block Design

Ability to acquire retain and retrieve general factual knowledge

Information

Involve fluid intelligence, broad visual intelligence, classification and spatial ability, knowledge of part-whole relationships, simultaneous processing, and perceptual organization

Matrix Reasoning

Short term visual memory, visual-motor coordination, cognitive flexibility, visual discrimination and concentration

Bug Search

Visual working memory using the familiarize-recognize paradigm

Picture Memory

Verbal concept formation and reasoning

Similarities

Fluid and inductive reasoning visual-perceptual recognition, organization and processing, and conceptual thinking and crystallized knowledge

Picture Concepts

Perceptual speed, rate of test-taking, speed of visual processing and mental operation, scanning ability, and visual-perceptual recognition and discrimination

Cancellation

Visual-spatial working memory using the observe-preform paradigm

Zoo Location

Visual-perceptual organization, integration and synthesis of part-whole relationships nonverbal reasoning, and trial-and-error learning-visual spatial

Object Assembly
