Assessment of Nonverbal Cognitive Ability
by Sarah Pemble LMHC
2
What is Nonverbal Cognitive Assessment?
Measures a student’s ability to: Recognize underlying rules and relationships Remember details See and copy conceptual patterns Reason Complete sequences
3
Nonverbal Assessment Theories of Nonverbal Intelligence
Spearman’s “G” and “S” factors Cattell’s fluid and crystallized measures Thurstone’s mental abilities
4
Nonverbal Assessment Use a Nonverbal measure when:
Speech or hearing disabled Student has writing limitations Staff suspects a nonverbal learning disability Student is an ELL learner
5
Differential Ability Scales (DAS)
Entire test: 20 subtests—17 cognitive and 3 achievement s measures yields overall cognitive and achievement scores. Valid for children years old GCA is the general ability of an individual to perform complex mental processing that involves conceptualization and the transformation of information. Also provides composite or cluster score; diverse-specific ability measures; diagnostic subtests for school-aged children, and achievement screening tests in word reading, basic number skills and spelling Developed from the British Ability Scales in DAS II version released in 2007
6
Nonverbal Assessment DAS
General Conceptual Ability Matrices Sequential & Quantitative Reasoning Nonverbal Reasoning ability Spatial Ability Recall of Designs Pattern Construction Copying
7
Nonverbal Assessment (DAS)
PARAMETRICS- RELIABILITY The DAS was standardized from on 3,475 children and adolescents with approximately 175 at each age level. The sample was stratified by age and sex, geographic location, special education enrollment, across race-ethnicity, and parent educational levels, and proved very similar to 1988 census populations (which have changed significantly in the last 20 years). Internal Reliability .89 and .90 for Preschool Nonverbal ability and School-Age Nonverbal Reasoning ability, and .92 for the Spatial ability scores. Test-retest increase in scores: Nonverbal increases measured from 3.3 to 6.6, and the Spatial from 4.7 to 7.6 points. Measures of Verbal ability were somewhat more stable and showed smaller practice-effect gains than both the Nonverbal and Spatial abilities.
8
Nonverbal Assessment (DAS)
VALIDITY Inter-correlation validity: Average correlations between the 17 individual subtests (excluding achievement subtests) and the GCA range from .22 to .82. Construct validity DAS Verbal, Nonverbal, and GCA scores were generally lower than the WPPSI-R Verbal, Performance, and Full Scales DAS Nonverbal Reasoning score correlated higher with the WISC-R Verbal than with the Performance (.77 vs. .57). The DAS Spatial cluster correlated highest with the WISC-R Performance scale (.69). **Alternate method of determining reliability had to be used due to non-uniform starting point.
9
Nonverbal Assessment (DAS)
ADMINSTRATION Requires preparation –Some feel the complexity of administration and testing limits its’ effectiveness Accuracy of results strongly impacted by skill of the tester Basal/discontinue rules but no uniform start/end point All subtests include teaching items Test took much longer to give than predicted
10
Nonverbal Assessment (DAS)
Difficulty in scoring Item by item administration & scoring Tester’s professional judgment (book example)
11
Nonverbal Assessment (DAS)
VALUE Are verbal and communication skills central to intelligence? Can Intelligence be tested apart from culture? (Cole & Cole, 1993) Considerable caution should be exercised in the interpretation of these tests Use of nonverbal IQ has been widely-criticized (Kaufman, 2001)
12
Nonverbal Assessment (DAS)
SCORING Qualitative information can be added Includes raw scores, standardized , T scores and percentile ranking T score points can actually be given for no successes-this complicates interpretation Interpretation should proceed from general to specific Relationship of scores more important than an individual score Statistically significant differences
13
KABC-II Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, 2nd Edition
Measures the processing & cognitive ability of children & adolescents, 3-18 Individually administered Time: sub-test 90 minutes (took me three hours) Non-verbal scales for hearing impaired, speech-language disorders, non-English
14
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Features: Measures sequential and simultaneous processing, learning, reasoning and crystallized ability Records score differences between ethnic and cultural groups Uses two theoretical models- Cattel-Horn Carroll (CHC) and Luria’s processing theory Option for assessing without measuring acquired knowledge Non-Verbal scale can be pantomimed and responded to motorically
15
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Features (continued): Can be administered out-of level Ensures that no child will do poorly because they do not understand. Bi-lingual (Spanish/English) Non-Verbal scales Includes easels in Spanish translations for teaching and scoring. Quantitative indicators for each subtest, so examiner can record observations about test-taking behaviors that may be relevant.
16
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Two Theoretical Models: A. Luria’s neuropsychological model, which features three functional units. focuses on general mental processing ability and deemphasizes acquired knowledge (language proficiency or general information) yields a global score called the Mental Processing Index (MPI) measures learning, sequential & simultaneous processing & planning abilities
17
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
The Three Blocks of Luria’s Neuropsychogical Theory Plans & Organizes (block 3) Behavior Codes and Stores Information (block 2) Maintains Arousal (block 1)
18
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Two Theoretical Models (continued): B. Cattell-Horn- Carroll (CHC) is a hierarchical organization of broad and narrow cognitive abilities. The (FCI) Fluid-Crystallized Index measure five broad abilities and general cognitive ability Recommended for gifted/talented
19
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
How to Choose: The CHC is the model of choice, except where acquired knowledge/crystallized ability would compromise choice. Luria is preferred when child has bilingual background; whose cultural background may affect knowledge or verbal development; known or suspected language disorders; autism; or hearing impaired Non-Verbal, hearingloss, limited English, limited Cognitive abilities (Do Luria instead if you want Learning Subtest)
20
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Non-Verbal Subtest Composed of only those subtests that can be administered in pantomime and responded to motorically Face Recognition Story completion Triangles Pattern Reasoning Hand Movements Conceptual Thinking
21
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Non-Verbal Scales Pantomimed or responded motorically NVS has reliability and validity coefficients that are not substantially lower. NVS for language related disabilities or ESL Not used to replace MPI or FCI for shy or mild speech/ language issues Not be given to bilingual unless grasp of English is limited and would be penalized for language demands.
22
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Qualitative Indicators: Each subtests has indicators to record observations that may be relevant for interpretation such as: fails to sustain attention reluctant to respond when uncertain unusually focused worries about time limit verbalizes story ideas
23
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Standardization Nationally representation of 3,205 ages 3-18 in 39 states/127 sites over 16-month period Random sampling for target sample- then each age match for sex, ethnic group, ed of parents, geog. region, Sp.ed. or gifted Norms- mirror 2001 U.S. Census data Subtest score distributions: mean- 10 & SD - 3, combined/scaled to mean & SD - 15
24
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Reliability Subtest reliability coefficients are for younger children below.70 Global/individual scales but coefficients for NV are the lowest .90 Subtest stability coefficients are Global/individual scales are with NV being the lowest.
25
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Reliability (continued) Younger girls scored better then boys all scales except knowledge: means by gender was 3pts or less Parent education important predictor for all pre-school and knowledge only scales for school age Ethnic differences – parent education does not control for SES, controlling for SES doesn’t remove variables that are differentially distributed by ethnicity.
26
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Reliability (continued) Ethnic difference are modest compared to parent education; largest variance on the knowledge scale. Ethnicity on global scales accounts for 2% of variance for preschoolers and 5% for older Each ethnic group was reviewed but low influences
27
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Validity Strong support for the construct validity of the KABC global scales Correlation with Wechsler two points higher than full scale at 97.3 Full IQ correlation with WISC and FCI/MPA .89 &.88. Subscale & Index score correlation are present with IQ scores on the WISC-III, WISC-IV, WPPSI-III, KAIT, Cog-WJIII
28
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
Validity (continued) Clinical studies- ID process with “exceptional” kids: LD/reading: SS, greatest on Learning Index. NV on both MPI/FCI was 16 points. LD/math: SS greatest on Planning LD/written: SS, -11.9—14.8 greatest on learning MR: SS, -29.9—37.4, greatest on Simultaneous & Planning, similar on MPI/FCI/NV ADHD: SS, -5.9—10, greatest difference simultaneous. Smaller ethnic group differences: substantial details provided for time bias and mean group difference, it’s claim of a reduction in ethnic group differences is not entirely achieved Socio- cultural norms are absent from the KABC-II
29
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
VALUE Interesting subtests & reduced emphasis on prior learning- better technical characteristics Improvement on original i.e. norms for older, representation at all ages New subtest strength psychometrics Clear and psychometrically defensible procedures for indentifying individual strengths /weakness Somewhat smaller score differences between ethnic groups Teaching exercises Nice soft-sided case- material fit
30
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
VALUE (continued) Absence of direct evidence to support how a single test can measure two distinct constructs (you can’t assume sub-standard leads to processing information differently) Two interpretive models does not magically reflect two different ways of processing just because examinee might lack education or ESL Culturally bias- even non-verbal (Story Comp.) Bonus for timing (places burden on examiner) Complete lack of evidence to support the use of test data for guiding educational or psychological interventions.
31
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
VALUE (continued) Do not let child see your marks (feedback) Each core subtest begins with a playful/ interesting & non-threatening subtest that does not need verbalization. Subtest that are similar are not administered in order (needs familiarity & practice) Rules must be internalized to ensure proper administration (practice for reliability) Establish/maintain rapport- praise for effort not correctness (hard-child wanted to know how doing)
32
Nonverbal Assessment KABC-II
VALUE (continued) Start points vary with each age Each subtest has a rule when to stop Most subtests include teaching time 3 types of timing: (hard to remember) *timing of stimulus *timing of responses for time limits *timing of responses for extra points
33
Test of Nonverbal Intelligence 3rd Edition
TONI-3 Test of Nonverbal Intelligence 3rd Edition Measures a single intelligent behavior- a person’s ability to solve novel & abstract problem Designed for persons ages 6:0- 89:11 45 questions All testers start at item 1 Two equivalent forms (A & B) Individually administered Useful for those who are nonverbal, illiterate, non-English speaking, culturally different, or otherwise have some kind of linguistic difficulties. Two equivalent forms good for test-retest reliability.
34
Test of Nonverbal Intelligence 3rd Edition (continued)
TONI-3 Test of Nonverbal Intelligence 3rd Edition (continued) Each item presents a novel problems No word No numbers No familiar pictures No familiar symbols Designed to be culturally sensitive Potential bias insignificant Two equivalent forms good for test-retest reliability.
35
Psychometrics- Norming

TONI-3 Creating a Comprehensive Profile TONI-3 scores are only one piece of the puzzle, a comprehensive profile requires additional testing, observations, interview, & consultation. Alone, the TONI-3 provides some useful information, however best practice indicates a need for comparable data. Two equivalent forms good for test-retest reliability.
47
TONI-3 Sharing the Results Special Consideration:
Other tests or activities that are loaded with spoken or written language tasks could be helpful in estimating the potential of students who are nonverbal, illiterate, or non-English speaking. However, consider language deviance rather than intellectual deviance when a student’s profile is characterized by normal or above average on non-verbal measures combined with subaverage performance on language-loaded measures. Two equivalent forms good for test-retest reliability.

TONI-3 Two types of normative scores are reported: Deviation Quotients
Normed in 1995 & 1996 by two data collection procedures Major standardization sites were selected in each of the four geographic regions per U.S. Bureau of Census (NY, South Dakota, Kansas, Texas, Arizona, & Washington) Sample of 3,451 people residing in 28 states participated All children in the sample attended school in general education & children with disabilities who were enrolled in these classes were included in the sample, too. Smaller test sites were selected randomly by contacting professionals who had purchased the TONI A total of 67 experienced testers from 22 states volunteered to for the purpose of norming the TONI-3. An additional 1,391 students participated TONI-3 Interpreting Scores (continued) EXAMPLE: Jonny’s raw score of 22 was converted to a quotient of 98 and to a percentile rank of 45 which indicates that he is performing in the average range when compared with other students who took the test. --OR— Jonny performed better than 45% of the other 11 year old students. Two types of normative scores: Percentile Quotients Mean of 100 SD of 15 Percentile Ranks Two types of normative scores are reported: Deviation Quotients Percentile Ranks Percentile Deviation Descriptions % Included Ranks Quotients > > Very Superior Superior Above Average Average Below Average Poor < < Very Poor Two equivalent forms good for test-retest reliability.
