    Behavioral Game Theory Analysis: Baron-Cohen, Leslie, And Frith

    In a groundbreaking study, Baron-Cohen, Leslie, and Frith (1985) compared children with Autism aged between 6 and 16 to two other groups which were, children who suffered from down syndrome aged from 7 to 17, and the control group which were children with no cognitive or social disorders aged from 3 to 6. In comparing these three groups Baron-Cohen et al found the cognitive ability of the three different populations differed. After looking at two different standardized test which were the British Picture Vocabulary Test which tested verbal ability by measuring the ability to match words to line drawings, and the Leiter International Performance Scale that measured non-verbal ability such as memory and visualization. Normal children scored the lowest on nonverbal measures with down syndrome group coming in second and the autistic group placing the highest.…

    KBIT 2 Summary

    As a measure of current general intellectual functioning, the KBIT-2 was administered and yielded a Verbal Score = 86±5; a Nonverbal Score = 55±5; and an IQ Composite Score = 66±4. The composite score falls within the very low or borderline educational classification at the 01st percentile rank per national age based norms and needs to be viewed with caution. Due to Hunter’s struggles with focus and difficulty attending to auditory instruction, his nonverbal score is felt to be an under representation of his actual performance. Repeated testing within the near future with this or a similarly constructed psychometric instrument would probably find Hunter scoring higher than an IQ band of 60 - 74. Analysis of KBIT-2 scores found Hunter demonstrating an unbalanced skill set between his verbal skills and his spatial, visually based skills.…

    Case Study: General Intellectual Functioning

    General Intellectual Functioning: In order to get an overall estimate of Mr. Smith’s intellectual functioning; an entire WAIS was completed by the patient. Mr. Smith earned a FSIQ of 111, classifying his overall intellectual ability, as measured by the WAIS-IV, as High Average Range. Furthermore, in the case of Mr. Smith, the difference between his highest index (140 on the PSI) and his lowest index (96 on the VCI) =44points. This value is more than 23 points, so his FSIQ is less useful and cannot be validly interpreted.…

    Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales Analysis

    The Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales second edition This short paper has the aim of reviewing the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales second edition (RIAS-2). The first edition of this instrument was introduced about 12 years ago, (Beaujean & McGlaughlin, 2014). The new version of the RIAS will be ready for use from mid-2016, (Reynolds & Kamphaus, n.d). The RIAS-2 is an individual administered psychometric instrument designed to evaluate cognitive ability: general intelligence (g), crystallized intelligence (Gc) and fluid reasoning (Gf). Broadly, the original RIAS has six subtests that measure intelligence: guess what, verbal reasoning, odd-item out, what’s missing, verbal memory, and the non-verbal subtest, (Beaujean & McGlaughlin, 2014).…

    The IQ Test: How Intelligence Has Changed

    The IQ test is the test in which intelligence can be measured. In the last few centuries test scores have changed, or even increased. Psychologist and scientists are uncertain about why this is happening, either we’re getting more intelligent, or the IQ tests need to change. In the field of psychology there's one psychologist who is ready to show the world what human intelligence is really about, his name is Professor Flynn. Intelligence is an indirect process that humans use to explain the different degrees of adaptive success in people’s behavior.…

    Beck Depression Inventory-II Case Study

    This sample could make it difficult to analyze the differences in reliability for the different minority groups because they are underrepresented (Whiston, 2013). In addition, there were more females than males in the sample, making it difficult to generalize to males. Also, although the original inventory has been used with students as young as 13 and the original inventory was shown to be at a sixth-grade reading level, the review of the current BDI-II shows that only college and clinical patients were used in the evaluation sample (Farmer, 2001). This would warrant caution when using the BDI-II with students. This is also an ethical consideration as school counselors need to consider the students’ developmental age, level of competence, and language skills before assessments are given, ASCA ethical standard A.9.c (ASCA, 2010).…

    Observation Of Early Childhood Observation

    Introduction: Child development involves emotional, physical, sociable, and intellect changes over a period from conception through adolescence. Childhood is a multifaceted process in which many changes occur. To fully understand the changes throughout childhood, one interview and observation was conducted to a toddler perspective, and a second interview and observation was implemented on a school-age child. Vast changes arise from infancy and toddlerhood, jumping to later childhood, and that was deceptive when comparing the outcomes from the two observations. Alex, who is eight years old, was the topic of the school-age child interview and observation.…

    Kurtis IQ Results

    The full scale IQ score is considered to be the most representative of an individual’s intellectual functioning, and KURTIS cognitive abilities assessed within the Low Average range. If he was tested on a different day, he might score higher or lower, but with 95% accuracy his true FSIQ would fall within the 77 to 88 range. This score needs to be viewed with caution. Due to Kurtis’ inability to understand directions on one subtest of his Working Memory Index his scores may be in the low range and not reflective of his true overall cognitive ability. This is not a true reflection of his overall cognitive ability.…

    Computer Memory Interference Test (CMIT)

    Introduction Sleep is an important component for maintaining, sustaining, and optimizing academic performance. Different lifestyle needs fluctuate the amount of sleep between individuals and often led them to attain inadequate sleep. Sufficient sleep has been linked to the enhancement of emotional and social function, whereas insufficient sleep reduces cognitive function and negatively affects academic readiness (Deuster & Yarnell, 2016). Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have collected data on performances based on sleep patterns on participants through a series of tests known as the Computer Memory Interference Test (CMIT).…
