intelligence test |
U11 Testing a method for assessing an individual's aptitude and comparing those scores with others using numerical scores ex: WAIS or Stanford-Binet tests |
|
|
intelligence |
U11 Testing a mental quality consisting of the ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations |
|
|
general intelligence (g) |
U11 Testing a general intelligence factor that, according to Spearman and others, underlies specific mental abilities and is therefore measured by every task on an intelligence test. |
|
|
factor analysis |
U11 Testing a statistical procedure that identifies clusters of related items (called factors) on a test; used to identify different dimensions of performance that underline a person's total score |
|
|
savant syndrome |
U11 Testing a condition in which a person otherwise limited in mental ability has an exceptional specific skill, such as in computation or drawing ex: an autistic person who can easily recall sports statistics |
|
|
emotional intelligence |
U11 Testing the ability to perceive, understand, manage and use emotions ex: understanding someone without words |
|
|
mental age |
U11 Testing a measure of intelligence test performance devised by Binet; the chronological age that most typically corresponds to a given level of performance. ex: child who does as well as the average 8-year-old is said to have a mental age of 8 |
|
|
Stanford-Binet |
U11 Testing the widely used American revision of Binet's original intelligence test ex: Stanford-Binet's Intelligence Scale |
|
|
intelligence quotient (IQ) |
U11 Testing defined originally as the ratio of mental age (ma) to chronological age (ca) multiplied by 100. ex: the average performance for a given age is assigned a score of 100 |
|
|
achievement tests |
U11 Testing tests designed to assess what a person has learned ex: final exams |
|
|
aptitude tests |
U11 Testing tests designed to predict a person's future performance ex: ACT or SAT |
|
|
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale |
U11 Testing the most widely used intelligence test ex: contains verbal and performance subtests |
|
|
standardization |
U11 Testing defining meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested group |
|
|
normal curve |
U11 Testing the symmetrical, bell shaped curve that describes the distribution of many physical and psychological attributes. Most scores fall near the average, and fewer and fewer scores lie near the extremes |
|
|
reliability |
U11 Testing the extent to which a test yields consistent results, as assessed by the consistency of scores on two halves of the test, or on retesting ex: ACT scores that cluster around the same level one each taking of the test |
|
|
validity |
U11 Testing the extent to which a test measures or predicts what it is supposed to |
|
|
content validity |
U11 Testing the extent to which a test samples the behavior that is of interest |
|
|
predictive validity |
U11 Testing the success with which a test predicts the behavior it is designed to predict ex: assessed by computing the correlation between test scores and the criterion behavior |
|
|
intellectual disability |
U11 Testing a condition of limited mental ability, indicated by an intelligence scores of 70 or below and diffculty in adapting to the demands of life; varies from mild to profound |
|
|
down syndrome |
U11 Testing a condition of intellectual disability and associated physical disorders caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21 |
|
|
