(special populations) Developmental scales/Tests
Birth - 2.5 years |
Gessel - 1st developmental test. Examined 4 areas: motor, adaptive abilities(progressive), language skills, and social behaviors(adapting to social situations).
Data gathering methods: Observation of childs behavior, asking for info from parents (creates parental bias). |
|
|
Bayley's scale
|
also looked at 4 areas, replaces Gessel's test because it was better. examined a mental scale, motor scale, and a developmental index.
mean = 100, SD = 15 allowed it to easily be compared to IQ scores. |
|
|
Vineland social maturity scale.
|
Developed to counter problems in measuring mental retardation.
poor standardization - most of the data was collected by parents. poor definitions of social behavior. was revised quickly because their were other better tests. |

Thematic appreception test(TAT)
Examined: Needs - the most important needs are psychological. Presses - environmental factors that help/hinder us in meeting our needs. Themas - The TAT is generally not scored the way Murrey intended. Results are generally eyeballed. |
|

CAT - Children's Appreception Test

Belak & Belak - cards had animals on them. Measured stages that kids have to go through according to Freud.
Worse than useless according to Kinder. CAT & TAT had face validity but it didnt really accomplish much. |
|
|
SAT - Senior Appreception Test
GAT - Gorentological AT |
Old people tests, neither worked well.
The cards had a large pull for negative affect in elderly people. |
|
|
Sentence completion tests
|
Rotter developed the best of these tests.
better norms and scoring as well as decent validity and reliability. The problem = no one ever scored it. |
|
|
Human drawing tests (Buck H-T-P)
|
are less than adequate
|
|
|
RORSCHACH
|
based on a European game called "blotto".
ink blots very widely used. low % of agreement |
|
|
Exner comprehensive system
|
combined the 5 major rorschach systems.
compiled 1000's of studies, kept only the studies with the best methodology. |
|
|
Exner was reasonably successful in predicting
|
suicide using the rorschach
|
|

Contam
Red flags |
grass bear and bloody island

Rorschach prognosis rating scale
