QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
⩥ Stanford-Binet Cognitive Factors. Answer: 1. Fluid Reasoning (FR;
object series-matrices, early reasoning, verbal absurdities, verbal
analogies)
2. Knowledge (KN; procedural knowledge, picture absurdities,
vocabulary)
3. Quantitative Reasoning (QR; quantitative reasoning verbal and non-
verbal)
4. Visual-Spatial Processing (VS; form board, form patterns, position
and direction)
5. Working Memory (WM; delayed response, block span, memory for
sentences, last word)
⩥ Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-IV). Answer: -Age Range:
16-90
-Theory: intelligence as a global ability comprised of numerous
interrelated functions
,-Administration: 10 core and 5 supplemental subtests; reverse rule used
if examinee scores 0 on the first two items; discontinue rule depending
on number of consecutive items scored incorrectly or within timeframe
-Scoring: Subtest scores (M=10, SD=3) are converted to FSIQ and Index
scores (M=100, SD=15); interpret with caution when there is a 1.5 SD
difference between any two indices or any two subtests that make up an
index; General Ability Index can be derived from VCI and PRI
-Psychometric Properties: FSIQ(r=.97-.98); Factor Indexes(r=.90-.96);
Subtests(r=.78-.94); evidence for testing gains on test-retest due to
practice effects
⩥ WAIS-IV Indexes and Subtests. Answer: 1. Working Memory Index
(WMI): initial registration and mental manipulation of stimuli (digit
span, arithmetic, letter-number sequencing)
2. Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI): retrieval of verbal information
from long-term memory and reasoning with verbal information
(vocabulary, similarities, information, comprehension)
3. Processing Speed Index (PSI): verbal, motor, and visual-motor
processing speed (symbol search, coding, cancellation)
4. Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI): reasoning with nonverbal, visual
stimuli (block design, matrix reasoning, visual puzzles, figure weights,
picture completion)
⩥ Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V). Answer: -Age
Range: 6-16
, -Theory: based on contemporary structural theories of intelligence and
development
-Scoring: provides FSIQ, scores on 5 Primary Index Scales (Verbal
Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory,
Processing Speed), and 7 subtest scores (similarities, vocabulary, block
design, matrix reasoning, figure weights, digit span, coding)
⩥ Weschler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI-IV).
Answer: -Age Range: 2:6 - 7:7
-Scoring Age >4: FSIQ, 3 Primary Index Scores (Verbal
Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Working Memory), 3 Ancillary Index
Scores (Vocabulary Acquisition, Nonverbal, General Ability)
-Scoring Age >=4: FSIQ, 5 Primary Index Scores (Verbal
Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Working Memory, Fluid Reasoning,
Processing Speed), 4 Ancillary Index Scores (Vocabulary Acquisition,
Nonverbal, General Ability, Cognitive Proficiency)
⩥ Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC-II). Answer: -Age
Range: 3-18
-Theory: measure of cognitive ability designed to be culture-fair by
minimizing verbal instructions and responses
-Scoring: 5 Scales (simultaneous, sequential, planning, learning,
knowledge)
-Interpretation: can be based on CHC model of cognitive abilities or
Luria's neuropsychological processing model (which is recommended
when the examinee's performance on measures of crystallized
