Enhanced Fujita Scale

of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, fifth edition (WISC-V). The areas of cognitive processing ability measured include crystallized intelligence, short-term memory, visual-spatial processing, reasoning ability, and processing speed. The subtests measure different cognitive processing abilities combine to form five index scores: Verbal Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed which all together make up the Full-Scale IQ score.

This report is done as an assignment for the practicum field experiences that need to be completed as part of coursework for Cognitive Assessment and Intervention, which is part of the School Psychology Graduate Professional Diploma Program. Background: Rachel is a nine years one-month-old Hispanic female, who voluntarily and with the written consent of her parents agreed to be evaluated by a school psychology candidate enrolled in Cognitive Assessment and Intervention course at New Jersey City…

appear to be a cause for concern for Mr. Moreno’s learning or memory abilities at this time. Mr. Moreno was administered the WTAR. Mr. Moreno’s cognitive outcomes were stable and average in performance. The estimate of Mr. Moreno’s premorbid Full-Scale IQ was 84 plus or minus 15 points or likely falling in the Low Average Range in the 14-percentile range. Mr. Moreno’s scores on the Personality Assessment Screener (PAS) suggest a marked risk for clinical problems in areas…

Balance Assessment in Parkinson’s Disease Using Virtual Reality Evidence-based practice includes the integration of patient values and focuses on the most appropriate course of action through clinical expertise and best available research. In order to produce the best research a clinician must form an adequate question and search strategy, critique the research found, critically interpret the findings, and apply them to each patient scenario. For instance, a clinical scenario could be, “Gerald…

have to build all of the destroyed buildings, which requires money. Apart from the destruction, the damaged or destroyed power lines can cause fires after the tornado. As said before, the damage caused by tornadoes is measured on the “Enhanced Fujita scale.” This scale tells us what type of tornado struck in the area. The tornado can be a one, two, three, four or a five based on the tornado’s wind speeds and the damage. Even though tornadoes can cause damage and be very harmful to the…

three states for three and a half hours. It killed 689 people and injured 2,000. After many hours of research I have found several interesting facts about tornadoes. In this report you will learn how they from, the destruction as rated on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, and Tornado Alley. Tornadoes can form over land or water. Although it is not fully understood how tornadoes are formed, some scientists believe that…

and Mississippi. Not only do these states have the highest number of tornadoes, but they also have some of the most dangerous and devastating tornadoes. The Enhanced Fujita Scale can describe just how strong these tornadoes can get. These scales are based on the damage they cause after a tornado. There are six different categories on the scale that range from 0-5. EF0 describes minor or no damage. EF1 causes moderate damage. EF2 means considerable damage was done. EF3 means severe damage…

Differences Between Natural and Manmade Hazards Hazards exist everywhere and all the time. Hazards come in many forms and sizes and affects people in different ways. The two categories of hazards are natural and manmade. Natural hazards occur everywhere but based on the geographic location, single or multiple hazards can occur at once. Natural hazards branches into three categories and they are atmospheric, hydrologic, and geologic. Manmade hazards or also known as technological hazards…

On Sunday May 22, 2011 Joplin, Missouri experienced a tornado that was measured on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale) to be measured at an EF-5. This classification according to Smith, Perotin, and Walsh (2012), indicates that the tornado contained wind speeds greater than 200 miles per hour. The tornado and path of destruction as described by Paul, Stimers, and Caldas (2014), was multi-vortex, nearly a mile wide, measured a path of at least six-miles in length as it traveled across the…

The Joplin Effect Natural disasters are defined as major adverse events that result from the natural processes on earth. These events include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other geologic events that can cause loss of life or severe property damage. The severity of the adverse event depends on the affected population’s ability to recover from such an event as well as the infrastructure available. Weather (meteorological) disasters are adverse…
