 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.

 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).

 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

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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. )

 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?

 Economic background  Motivation/Self-Fulfilling prophecy  Cultural bias

 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

 Can encourage failure/ success  Does not take anxiety or prior practice into consideration.

 Nearly 95% of people score between  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  Moderate IQ (Down syndrome)  Severe IQ  Profound IQ below 20

 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)

 Technically speaking, people who are gifted have IQ scores of 130 or above.  people-highest-iq-world- infographic?utm_source=internal&utm_medi um=block&utm_campaign=latest_dumps

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

 Fluid- Using learned concepts in unusual and adaptive formats to solve problems. It is relatively independent of formal education.

 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.

True or False  Fluid Intelligence is associated more with creative thinking than crystallized intelligence.

 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.

 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?
