Questions with Accurate Answers
Areas of gifted assessment correct answer cognitive ability, creativity thinking,
leadership, academics, specific talents
Auditory (Ga) Processing correct answer Abilities that depend on sound as input
and on the functioning of our hearing apparatus. A key characteristic is the extent
an individual can cognitively control (i.e., handle the competition between signal
and noise) the perception of auditory information; circumscribes a wide range of
abilities involved in the interpretation and organization of sounds, such as
discriminating patterns in sounds and musical structure (often under background
noise and/or distorting conditions) and the ability to analyze, manipulate,
comprehend, and synthesize sound elements, groups of sounds, or sound
patterns.
C-LIM Foundational Principles correct answer · EL and non-ELs perform differently
at the broad ability levels on tests of cognitive abilities
· ELs perform better on nonverbal tests than they do on verbal tests
· EL performance on both verbal and nonverbal tests is moderated by linguistic
and acculturative variables
· Further research needs to stratify samples by relevant variables such as language
proficiency, length, and type of English and native language instruction,
developmental issues related to age/grade and of first exposure to English
Carroll correct answer three-stratum theory
Cattell correct answer g is two discrete factors (crystallized ability and fluid
reasoning)
, Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) Theory correct answer synthesis of Gf-Gc and 3S
CHC Broad Abilities correct answer Fluid Reasoning, Comprehension Knowledge,
Short Term Memory, Visual Processing, Auditory Processing, Long-term Storage
and Retrieval, Processing Speed,
Comprehension Knowledge (Gc) correct answer The knowledge of the culture
that is incorporated by individuals through a process of acculturation; typically
described as a person's breadth and depth of acquired knowledge of the
language, information, and concepts of a specific culture and/or the application of
this knowledge; primarily a store of verbal or language-based declarative
(knowing what) and procedural (knowing how) knowledge acquired through the
investment of other abilities during formal and informal educational and general
life experiences
Comprehension Knowledge (Gc) Subtests correct answer WISC-V: Similarities,
Vocabulary
KABC-II: Expressive Vocabulary, Verbal Knowledge, Riddles

Culture-Language Interpretive Matrix (C-LIM) Purpose correct answer Assist
evaluators in ruling out cultural and linguistic factors that may have undermined
validity of test scores; determine degree of "difference" student displays relative
to norm samples
Fluid Reasoning (Gf) correct answer The use of deliberate and controlled mental
operations to solve novel problems that cannot be performed automatically.
Mental operations often include drawing inferences, concept formation,
