8. Milestones in the Development of the Stanford-Binet and Predecessor Tests __________________________________________________________ YEARTESTS/AUTHORSCOMMENT __________________________________________________________ 1905Binet & SimonClinically useful but poorly standardized; the 30 items did not yield a score! 1908Binet & SimonTwice as long as the 1905 scale, but still poorly standardized; introduced a form of scoring, the mental-age concept. 1911Binet & SimonExpanded to include adults, but still a limited scale. 1916Stanford-BinetBetter standardization (N = 1, 000 children and 400 adults) and IQ concept introduced; Terman & Merrill too much emphasis upon verbal materials.

9. Milestones in the Development of the Stanford-Binet and Predecessor Tests (Con’t) __________________________________________________________ YEARTESTS/AUTHORSCOMMENT _______________________________________________________ 1937Stanford-BinetFirst use of parallel forms and (2nd Ed )better standardization; test contained 129 Terman & Merrillitems. 1960Standford-BinetParallel forms combined into a single form (3rd Ed )(L-M); extensive checks on item difficulty Terman & Merrill(N = 4,500 children); still too much emphasis on verbal items. 1972ThorndikeRestandardization of the Stanford-Binet (3rd Ed) on 2,100 subjects. 1986Standford-BinetComplete restructuring of the test into 15 (4th Ed )subtests; excellent standardization Thorndike, Hagen, (N = 5,013 persons ages 2-0 to 23-11) & Sattler

10. ___________________________________________________________ A Chronology of the Tests Developed by David Wechsler and Associates ___________________________________________________________ 1939Wechsler-Bellevue Developed at Bellevue Hospital in New York with high hopes that it would help in psychiatric diagnosis. The test consisted of six verbal and five performance subtests. 1946Wechsler-Bellevue II Designed to be an equivalent and alternate form of the Wechsler-Bellevue, this test was never adequately standardized. 1949Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children A downward extension of the Wechsler-Bellevue II, for children ages 5 to 15 years 11 months. Unfortunately, the standardization sample contained whites only. 1955Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale A restandardization of the Wechsler-Bellevue with some item revisions, for adults ages 16 and up.

11. ___________________________________________________________ A Chronology of the Tests Developed by David Wechsler and Associates (Con’t) ______________________________________________________________ 1967Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence For children ages 4 to 6-1/2, the WPPSI was first test to adequately sample racial minorities for the norms. 1974 Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised A revision of the WISC, with updated items especially on Information, Vocabulary, and Picture Completion. The new norms included black and other minorities in appropriate proportion. For children ages 6 to 16 years 11 months. 1981Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised A revision of the WAIS, with 80 percent of the original items retained, and updated norms. Verbal and performance subtests alternated.

12. ______________________________________________________________ A Chronology of the Tests Developed by David Wechsler and Associates (Con’t) ______________________________________________________________ 1989Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Revised A revision of the WPPSI with dated and biased items eliminated, for children ages 3 through 7 years 3 months. Object Assembly was added and the norms updated. 1991Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III A revised and renormed version of the WISC-R
