Assessment- Intelligence, Achievement, Aptitude Questions and Answers 100% correct

Assessment- Intelligence, Achievement, Aptitude Questions and Answers 100% correct Psychometric Approach -Model of Intelligence -Premise=description of intelligence using mental factors so... figure out what the factors are and then measure them Mental Factors Mental skills that mediate mental performance in different situations Brainpower Read More Previous Play Next Rewind 10 seconds Move forward 10 seconds Unmute 0:00 / 0:15 Full screen Continuum of Psychometric Approach Complexity Spearman Thurstone Guilford odd dude out=Vernon Spearman's Approach measured intelligence with 2 FACTORS- general ability and something else that was specific, but still relates to g "Smart ppl are smart and unintelligent ppl are not smart" Thurstone's Approach measured intelligence using 7 PRIMARY ABILITIES, but of course they are all related, so kinda like Spearman's general ability under a microscope (see more detail) Guilford's Approach (Structure-of-intelligence Theory) measure intelligence with 3 DIMENSIONS (most complex approach- he was a complicated dude) -mental operations -content areas -products Vernon's Approach HIERARCHICAL with a general factor at the top which influenced the second-order factors and these influenced the third-order and so on... Cattel-Horn-Carrol Model -model of intelligence -most influential G = FLUID + CRYSTALLIZED Developmental Progression -related to intelligence -not really about measuring -Piaget and Ceci Piaget's theory Children move through 4 STAGES of intelligence development using 2 FUNCTIONS -SensorimotorPreoperationalConcreteFormal operation -Assimilation (incorporate) and Accommodation (create) Ceci's theory "There are no intelligent people; there are only people who are intelligent in certain domains" Bioecological model (related to developmental) -All about CONTEXT (where and how you learn) Information Processing -related to intelligence -HOW information is processed -Luria and Sternberg Luria's theory -describes intellect with: -SIMULTANEOUS (visualizing an image) processing -SEQUENTIAL (recalling phone number) processing Sternberg's triarchic theory -related to intelligence and informaiton processing -composed of 3 subtheories (only 1st deals w/ info) Gardner's theory of multiple inteligences -related to intelligence -culture mediates what is considered intelligence -9 "Frames of mind" Individual Intelligence Testing tools -Wechsler Scales -Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale -Kaufman Instruments -bunch more Wechsler Scales - WAIS-III (Adult: 16yrs-90yrs) - WISC-IV (Children: 6yrs-17yrs) - WPPSI-III (Preschool and Primary: 2.5yrs-7 yrs) Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test -Age range: 2yrs-85 years -Has 3 IQs and 5 factors for verbal and nonverbal Kaufman Instruments KABC for children KAIT for adults Stability of Intelligence -Kids have least stable intelligence -After climbing, intelligence is steady in adulthood -Declines occur in fluid intelligence (processing speed and mental manipulation) Validity Generalization concept came out of study with GATB and predictions of job success -same test score predictive for all jobs -If test valid for a few occupations, it is valid for all jobs in one cluster Heredity of Intelligence Can't say for sure -Nature and nurture both play a role -Heritability index is 0.5 Flynn effect We're all getting higher IQ scores, but we're not gaining in achievement Achievement test tests what has been LEARNED and ACQUIRED Aptitude test PREDICTS performance and learning ability Achievement Assessment types -Survey achievement batteries -Individual and Diagnostic -Criterion-referenced and minimum-level skills -Subject Area Survey Achievement Batteries -Assess person on wide-range of subjects -Typically given in schools (can be for adults) -Have subtests for certain academic areas - Normed with general ability or intelligence tests -Example: TerraNova Individual and Diagnostic Achievement Tests -help screen for learning disabilities, mental handicaps, behavioral disorders or measure academic progress -example: Woodcock-Johnson III (and bunch more)
