MEASURING INTELLIGENCE Chapter 11: Pages

 Intelligence tests used today are evolved from the work of Alfred Binet.  The first tests were created to measure ‘mental functions’  In 1905, Binet and Simon published their test, which had questions in order of increasing difficulty.  If a child scores the average number of correct items for their age group then their mental age would match their chronological age  The participants chronological age is measured in years and months. BINET’S TEST OF INTELLIGENCE

STANFORD-BINET TEST OF INTELLIGENCE  After Binet died in 1911, his test was translated into English and adapted for the US.  Lewis Terman, a lecturer at Stanford University adapted the questions so they were suitable for American students and also adults.  In 1916, the test was republished as the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale.  The most recent revision of the test was in 2003, this is done to make sure items are still relevant  Now five cognitive abilities are measured for people between years  The abilities are; Fluid reasoning knowledge Quantitative reasoning Visual-spatial processing Working memory

 One of the most widely used is the intelligence test developed by David Wechsler in  Though devised in America, they have been adapted for use in Australia  The best known scales are WAIS-IV (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) and the WISC-IV (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children)  An IQ score can be calculated from the total combined performance on the four components of the test.  Those components are; Verbal comprehension Perceptual reasoning Verbal memory Processing speed.
