ORIGINS OF INTELLIGENCE TESTING
Intelligence Test a method of assessing an individual’s mental aptitudes and comparing them to those of others, using numerical scores
![Page 15: 28 - 32. Cognition mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating Concept mental grouping of similar objects,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d155503460f949eadac/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

![Page 16: 28 - 32. Cognition mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating Concept mental grouping of similar objects,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d155503460f949eadac/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
WHAT IS INTELLIGENCE? Factor Analysis
statistical procedure that identifies clusters of related items (called factors) on a test
used to identify different dimensions of performance that underlie one’s total score
General Intelligence (g) factor that Spearman and others believed
underlies specific mental abilities measured by every task on an intelligence test

ORIGINS OF INTELLIGENCE TESTING
Mental Age a measure of intelligence test performance
devised by Binet chronological age that most typically
corresponds to a given level of performance
child who does as well as the average 8-year-old is said to have a mental age of 8

ORIGINS OF INTELLIGENCE TESTING
Stanford-Binet the widely used American revision of Binet’s original intelligence test revised by Terman at Stanford
University
![Page 22: 28 - 32. Cognition mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating Concept mental grouping of similar objects,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d155503460f949eadac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ORIGINS OF INTELLIGENCE TESTING
Intelligence Quotient (IQ) defined originally the ratio of mental age (ma) to chronological age (ca) multiplied by 100 IQ = ma/ca x 100)
on contemporary tests, the average performance for a given age is assigned a score of 100

ASSESSING INTELLIGENCE
Aptitude Test a test designed to predict a person’s future performance
aptitude is the capacity to learn Achievement Test
a test designed to assess what a person has learned

ASSESSING INTELLIGENCE
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) most widely used intelligence test
subtests verbal performance (nonverbal)
![Page 25: 28 - 32. Cognition mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating Concept mental grouping of similar objects,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d155503460f949eadac/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

ASSESSING INTELLIGENCE
Standardization defining meaningful scores by comparison with the
performance of a pretested “standardization group”
Normal Curve the symmetrical bell-shaped curve that describes
the distribution of many physical and psychological attributes
most scores fall near the average, and fewer and fewer scores lie near the extremes

ASSESSING INTELLIGENCE
Reliability the extent to which a test yields consistent
results assessed by consistency of scores on:
two halves of the test alternate forms of the test retesting
Validity the extent to which a test measures or predicts
what it is supposed to
![Page 29: 28 - 32. Cognition mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating Concept mental grouping of similar objects,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d155503460f949eadac/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
ASSESSING INTELLIGENCE
Content Validity the extent to which a test samples the
behavior that is of interest driving test that samples driving tasks
Criterion behavior (such as college grades) that a test
(such as the SAT) is designed to predict the measure used in defining whether the
test has predictive validity
![Page 30: 28 - 32. Cognition mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating Concept mental grouping of similar objects,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d155503460f949eadac/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
ASSESSING INTELLIGENCE
Predictive Validity success with which a test predicts the
behavior it is designed to predict assessed by computing the correlation
between test scores and the criterion behavior
also called criterion-related validity

a condition of limited mental ability indicated by an intelligence score below 70 produces difficulty in adapting to the demands of
life varies from mild to profound

GENETIC INFLUENCES
Heritability the proportion of variation among individuals that we can attribute to genes
