Test (more detail) Flashcards
What are the 5 factors and the overall factor of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence scale?
(Quiet Cats Focus Very Well) Fluid reasoning (fluid intelligence), Knowledge (crystallized intelligence), Quantitative reasoning, Visual-spatial reasoning, Working memory OVERALL: G or general intelligence
How many core subtests in the stanford binet and how many factors do these yield?
10 core subtests, 5 factor scores
What standardisation sample did they use for the stanforf binet (how many, ages, was it stratified?)
Standardization sample: 4800 participants between 2 and 85 years of age. Another 3000 people from other groups were also tested (e.g. gifted, intellectually disabled, ADHD).
Sample was stratified by age, race/ethnicity, geographical region (in US), and socioeconomic level.
What are the means and standard deviations for the stanford binet?
the mean is 100 and SD 15 (standard intelligence)
What are the 5 factors/ primary scores of the WISC-V? and what are they combined to measure?
Pet Whale Very Very Fat
1.Verbal comprehension
2.Visual perceptual
3.Fluid reasoning
4.Working memory
5.Processing speed
combined = a measure of general intellectual functioning
What is the youngest age you can be to take the RPM?
5
Do you need language to take the RPM?
no
What was the RPM designed to do?
Designed to assess military recruits (supposedly) independent of educational factors. - “Impressive set” of norms from all around the world
What kind of validity was used to validate the RPM?
Validity - correlates with other aptitude tests and to a lesser degree with academic ability (though correlations not high).- broadly construct validity, specific: convergent validity.
The specific version of RPM called the SPM (Standard Progressive Matrices) is designed to measure what?
abstract reasoning
What is the specific age range for the Peabody?
2- adult
How do you respond to the peabody? if no speaking necessary?
pointing response or can even look at picture they wish to choose
Does the Peabody require any reading ability?
No, it provides a rough and ready measure of IQ for people who might be unable to do the Binet or Wechsler tests (much quicker to administer too) - though it’s not a proper substitute (measures ASPECTS of intelligence)
What kind of reliability was tested for the Peabody (3 types)?
alternate-forms, internacy consistency, and test-retest, all high!
Does the peabody have content validity?
yes, words all in the dictionary
What are the three forms of empirical validity the Peabody has?
- Empirical validity 1: test scores increase with age in the predicted way.
- Empirical validity 2 (convergent validity): correlates well with other established vocabulary tests, and also measures of oral language, and reading.
- Empirical validity 3: special populations were found to score as expected (e.g. mental retardation, developmental delay, autism, language disorder, etc).
What are three specific things Neale measures and between which ages?
Measures oral reading, comprehension, and fluency of non-special needs students aged 6 to 12 years. But may also be used to diagnose reading difficulties in older readers (i.e. can be used with special needs adults).
How does the Neale work?
Children read a selection of stories out loud and then completes a comprehension test on the story. The test administrator notes down any errors and how long the child took to read it.
The Neale is scored to give measures of? (3 things)
- Reading accuracy, 2. Reading rate, and 3. Comprehension.
How do you analyse the Neale scores? e.g. do they need converting?
raw scores need to be converted into standardised scores, determine year of schooling and state and how many years of schooling he’s received (if a student has repeated a year, don’t count it as an extra year of schooling) (accuracy, comprehension, and rate each have their own conversion tables)
What percentile rank indicates average ability on the Neale? and what rank indicates significant problems?
40-60 percentile rank is average ability
percentile rank below 20 indicates significant problems with reading
What does the WIAT (Wechsler Individual Achievement Test) assist you in/inform?
identifying the academic strengths and weaknesses of a student; informing decisions regarding eligibility for educational services, educational placement, or diagnosis of a specific learning disability; and designing instructional objectives and planning interventions
What tests are included in the WIAT?
Word reading, text comprehension, maths problem solving, oral expression, writing fluency, spelling, sentence composition.
What might you use the WIAT and WISC together for?
to diagnose a learning disorder. (achievement and intelligence test together bc discrepancy between two is useful for diagnosis)
