Work on EQ Factor Questions if you do not complete (you will have 10 minutes next class- NO MORE) Start working on Study Guide- due on TEST DAY!

Name of testName of Person Associated Description of TestKeywords / definitions The Stanford- Binet Scales Alfred BinetMental Age- Intelligence Quotient- Measurements of Intelligence
7
French psychologist Alfred Binet devised the first modern intelligence test. Binet assumed that intelligence increased with age, therefore older children were expected to answer more difficult questions. Binets test yielded a score called a mental age. Mental age (MA) shows the intellectual level at which a child is functioning.
8
Binet’s test brought to U.S. and revised by Louis Terman of Stanford The version of the test used today provides an intelligence quotient, not a MA. An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a number that reflects the relationship between a child’s mental age (MA) and his or her actual (CA).
9
intelligence quotient: measure that reflects the relationship between mental age divided by chronological age (MA/CA x 100) MA=Mental Age= Level of intellectual function in years CA=Chronological age=your actual age
10
True or False: Is it true that two children can answer exactly the same items on an intelligence test correctly, yet one may have an above-average IQ and the other may have a below average IQ.
11
David Wechsler developed an intelligence tests for children and adults. The most widely used test is the revised Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R). Wechsler’s scales consist of several subtests. Each subtest measures a different intellectual skill. Some measure verbal skills while others assess performance skills. In general, verbal scale reflects ones knowledge of words and ideas’. Wechsler made an entire scale that allowed the measurement of nonverbal intelligence. This became known as a performance scale.
12
Because the Wechsler tests yield three scores they can be used to identify particular learning disabilities Scores are based on a comparison of a person’s answers with the answers of others in the same age group. The average score for any age level is 100.
13
Wechsler scales do not use concept of mental age (although they still use IQ) Wechsler has a the non-verbal performance scale (Stanford-Binet Test measures ONLY verbal ability, whereas the Wechsler scales measure both verbal and nonverbal abilities. )
14
A good psychological test should be both reliable and valid. Reliable: results are repeatable (consistent) Validity: does this test accurately correspond what it is designed to measure?
15
Economic background Motivation/Self-Fulfilling prophecy Cultural bias
16
Stereotype threat – if stereotype exists that your “group” does less well on a test, this may inhibit your performance Example: Girls who are told they do worse on math tests may do less well on math tests due to this anxiety ▪ Similar for minorities and genders
17
Can encourage failure/ success Does not take anxiety or prior practice into consideration.
18
Nearly 95% of people score between 70-130 Having an IQ below 70= definition of mental retardation or (intellectual disability) Most of these people are in the “mild” classification with an IQ from 50-70 Moderate IQ 39-49 (Down syndrome) Severe IQ 20-34 Profound IQ below 20
19
Accidents that result in brain damage & difficulties during childbirth Pregnant women who abuse alcohol or drugs, are malnourished, or have other health problems Genetic disorders or abnormalities (Down syndrome)
20
Technically speaking, people who are gifted have IQ scores of 130 or above. http://www.sciencedump.com/content/10- people-highest-iq-world- infographic?utm_source=internal&utm_medi um=block&utm_campaign=latest_dumps
21
producing new ideas, approaches or actions We do not know the connection between creativity and intelligence It is possible to have low intelligence and high creativity and vice versa
22
Fluid- Using learned concepts in unusual and adaptive formats to solve problems. It is relatively independent of formal education.
23
Crystal- skills and specific knowledge of information acquired over a lifetime; it is heavily dependent on education and tends to remain stable over the lifetime. Think LIFE EXPERIENCE.
24
True or False Fluid Intelligence is associated more with creative thinking than crystallized intelligence.
25
Can someone have a high intelligence or talent and an intellectual disability together? Yes, savants are defined as having and IQ below 70 but display an extraordinary ability in a certain area: musical, math, memory, etc.
26
1) What type of savant is Orlando/ how is it different? 2) What “caused” this? 3) What superior “skill/knowledge” does he possess?

1) Define savant, then discuss one of the cases that we watched, include the individual’s name and specifics, explain why they are considered a savant. 2) What is the difference between a Stanford- Binet and a Wechsler Scale? Which would you rather take and why?
