Q

Describe the Verbal Comprehension Index of the WAIS 4

A

This index reflects an individual’s ability to understand, use and think with spoken language. It also demonstrates the breadth and depth of knowledge acquired from one’s environment. It measures the retrieval from long-term memory of such information.

Q

Describe the Perceptual Reasoning Index of the WAIS 4

A

Ability to accurately interpret, organize and think with visual information.

Measures nonverbal reasoning skills and taps into thinking that is more fluid and requires visual perceptual abilities.

Q

Describe the Working Memory Index of the WAIS 4

A

Reflects an individual’s ability to take in and hold information in immediate awareness and then perform a mental operation on that information.

It also measures the mental manipulation of number operations.

17
Q

Describe the Processing Speed Index of the WAIS 4

A

Ability to process simple or routine visual information quickly and efficiently. It measures visual and motor speed.

18
Q

What is the GAI and when would you use it?

A

General Ability Index, it’s more focused on reasoning ability and less weighted on processing speed and working memory

19
Q

Describe the Verbal Comprehension Index on the WISC

A
  • Ability to access and apply acquired word
    knowledge
  • Ability to verbalize meaningful concepts, think about
    verbal information, and express onesself in words
20
Q

Age range for WISC
Age range for WAIS

A

WISC = 6-16 years 11 m
WAIS 16 year to 90

21
Q

Describe the Fluid Reasoning Index on the WISC

A
  • Ability to detect the underlying conceptual
    relationship among visual objects and use reasoning to identify and apply rules.
  • Identification and
    application of conceptual relationships in the FRI requires inductive and quantitative reasoning, broad
    visual intelligence, simultaneous processing, and abstract thinking
22
Q

Describe the Visual Spatial Index on the WISC

A
  • Ability to evaluate visual details and understand
    visual spatial relationships (toconstruct designs from a model)

Requires
Visual spatial reasoning,
Integration and synthesis of part-whole relationships,
Attention to visual detail
Visual-motor integration

23
Q

Describe the Working Memory Index on the WISC

A

Ability to register, maintain, and manipulate
visual and auditory information in conscious awareness, which requires attention and concentration, as
well as visual and auditory discrimination.

24
Q

Describe the Processing Speed index on the WISC

A

Speed and accuracy of visual identification,
decision making, and decision implementation. Performance on the PSI is related to visual scanning,
visual discrimination, short-term visual memory, visuomotor coordination, and concentration

25
Q

What is Ontario’s learning disability criteria?

A
  1. History of academic functioning below same aged peers OR needs excessive support/effort to maintain typical functioning
  2. Below average (at least 1 standard deviation) in at least 1: reading, writing, math
  3. Evidence that these academic difficulties are logically linked to deficits in cognitive abilities
  4. Average thinking and reasoning abilities
  5. Not due to other disorders, environment, cultural or linguistic diversity
