1. What is Intelligence and, and what are the some of the problem
we face in measuring this construct?
![Page 3: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Definitions of Intelligence
There is no universally accepted definition of intelligence. However, over the years, most have fallen into one of three classes:
• Definition that emphasize adjustment or adaption to the environment--adaptability to new situations, the capacity to deal with a range of situations
![Page 4: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Definition that focus on the ability to learn-- on educability in the broad sense of the term.
• Definition that emphasize abstract thinking—the ability to use a wide range of symbols and concepts, the ability to use both verbal and numerical symbols
![Page 5: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
To illustrate a little of the longstanding diversity of definitions, consider the following examples:
Intelligence is the aggregate or global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his environment. (Wechsler, 1993, p. 3)
![Page 6: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
As a concept, intelligence refers to the whole class of cognitive behaviors which reflect an individual capacity to solve problems.
Intelligence is expressed in terms of adaptive goal-directed behavior.
Intelligence is very general mental capability that among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems , think abstractly, comprehend complexes ideas, learn quickly and learn from experiences

Theories of Intelligence
• Analytic ApproachesSpearman (1927) the father of factor
analysis, posited the existence of a g factors (general intelligence) an s factors (specific intelligence). The elements that tests have common are represented by g, whereas the elements unique to a given test are s factors.

Theories of Intelligence
• Cattell’s TheoryThe work of R.B Cattell (1987) emphasizes
the centrality of g. At the same time, Cattell has offered a tentative list of 17 primary ability concepts.

• Guiford’s ClassificationThe views of Gilford (1967) were quite
different from those of Cattell Spearman, Thurstone, and most other psychometricians. Guilford proposed a Structure of the Intellect (SOI) model and then used a variety of statistical and factor analytic techniques to test it.

The IQ: It’s Meaning and Its Correlates
• The Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
Ratio IQBinet regarded the mental age (MA)
as an index of mental performance. Each successfully passed on a Binet test signified a certain number of months’ credit. At the conclusion of the test, the item passed were added up and MA emerged.
![Page 12: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Deviation IQ
A deviation IQ then involves a comparison of an individual’s performance on an IQ test with that of his or her age peers. Thus IQ score has a similar meaning, even if the two individuals are markedly different in age.
![Page 13: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2. What is the relationship between intelligence and
school success as well as between intelligence and
occupational status success?
![Page 14: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Correlates of the IQ
School SuccessIn general IQ’s have been shown to
relate substantially both to success in school and to achievement tests that measures what has been learned (Herrnstein & Murray 1994, Kamphaus, 1993) the correlation between IQ score and grades is about .50 (Neisser et al,. 1996).
![Page 15: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Occupational Status and SuccessBecause amount of education would
seem to be, in general, a strong determinate of the kind of job one can obtain, it will come as no surprise to learn that IQ and occupational status are related. This seems to be true whether occupational status is defined in terms of income, rated prestige, or social prestige, or social prestige ( Brody & Brody, 1976)
![Page 16: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Group DifferencesMales tend to score significantly
higher on measures on spatial ability and, after puberty, on measures of quantitative ability. Females tends to score significantly higher on measures of verbal ability (Neisser et. Al., 1996). Among racial/ethnic group Hispanic American and African American tends to obtain significantly lower IQ scores than do European Americans.
![Page 17: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. What do studies suggest regarding the genetic versus environmental influence on
intelligence?
![Page 18: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Heredity and Stability of IQ Score
Behavioral GeneticsBehavioral genetics is a research
specialty in which both genetic and environment influences on the development of behavior are evaluated. Proteins are produced and regulated by genetic codes, and protein interact with physiological intermediaries (hormones, neurotransmitters, structural properties of the nervous system).
![Page 19: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Genetic vs. Environment
Genetic versus environmental influences are not either/ or choices. Clearly both play some role in the development and expression of intelligence. Behavioral genetics do not claim that environmental plays no role in IQ ; rather their data clearly implicate environmental factors and should serve as a stimulus for more research on the nature and effect of these factors on the development intelligence.

4. How are Standford-Binet Edition (SB-4) and Weschsler (WAIS-III, WISC-IV) similar?
How are they different?
![Page 21: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Clinical Assessment of Intelligence
The Stanford-Binet Scales
The Stanford-Binet was notable for being an age scale. It had 20 age levels, beginning at year II and proceeding through Superior Adults Level III. Each level had six items. Each item passed was converted 1 or 2 months of mental-age credit (depending on whether it was located before or after level V)
![Page 22: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The 1986 version is radically different. It is based on a hierarchical model of intelligence . The Stanford-Binet 4th edition (SB-4) contains for general classes of items, and each class consists of several kinds of subtest:
• Verbal Reasoning-Vocabulary, comprehension, absurdities and verbal relations
• Quantitative Reasoning-Quantitative, number series, equation building
• Abstract/Visual Reasoning-Pattern analysis, copying, matrices, paper folding and cutting
• Short-Term Memory-Bead memory, memory for sentences, memory for digits, memory for objects
![Page 23: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
StandardizationFinal standardization of the SB-
4 included 5013 participants. Using 1980 US census figures, participants were sampled according to geographic region, community size, ethnic group, age group and gender. Socio economic status was considered as well.
![Page 24: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Reliability and ValidityInternal consistency reliabilities were
basically in the 80’s and 90’s. Test-Retest reliability for intervals of 2-8 months were (preschoolers) mostly in the 70’s, with a few in the 80’s and 90’s.
As for validity of SB-4 composite scores , a variety of supportive evidence has been obtained (Lawren, Swerdlik and Ryburn, 1992.; Thorndike et. Al,. 1986)
![Page 25: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Wechsler Scales
Earlier version of the Standford-Binet had a number of disatages that lead David Wechsler 1989 to develop the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scales. This was a test designed for adults one that would offer items whose content was more appropriate for and more motivating to adults than the schools-oriented binet.
![Page 26: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The WAIS III
A new version of the Wechsler-Bellevue, known as the Wechsler adult intelligence scale (WAIS-R) was published in 1981. The most recent version, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Third Edition (WAIS-III) was introduced in 1997.
![Page 27: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
One major change introduced in the WAIS-III is the inclusion of reversal items in several subtests, all examinees begin with the same to basal item. If a perfect score on it either basal item is not obtained, the preceding items are administered in reverse sequence until a perfect score is achieved for two consecutive items
![Page 28: The Assessment of Intelligence](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052705/5876c7671a28ab6d5a8b6221/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

some of the limitations regarding their used in these
situations ?
