NCMHCE FINAL PAPER EXAM 2 2026 FULL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◉ Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale
(Assessment & Diagnosis). Answer: - SB5 measures cog ability, assist
in psychoeducational evaluation, & diagnose developmental
disabilities thru verbal and nonverbal activities
- AGES: 2-85+
- 5 Categories of Intelligence:
1. Fluid reasoning
2. Knowledge
3. Quantitative reasoning
4. Visual-spatial processing
5. Working memory
- Four Composite Scores:
1. Factor index
2. Domain
3. Abbreviated battery
4. Full-scale IQ
◉ Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - IV
,(Assessment & Diagnosis). Answer: - 2008
- AGES: 16+
- intelligence is a global ability made up of a number of interrelated
functions
- Four Index Scores:
1. Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI)
2. Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI)
3. Working Memory Index (WMI)
4. Processing Speed Index (PSI)
- 10 Core Subtests:
1. VCI: Similarities (abstract reasoning)
2. VCI: Vocabulary (semantic knowledge)
3. VCI: Information (general knowledge)
4. PRI: Block Design (spatial processing)
5. PRI: Matrix Reasoning (inductive reasoning)
6. PRI: Visual Puzzles (spatial reasoning)
7: WMI: Digit Span (working memory)
8: WMI: Arithmetic (quantitative reasoning)
9. PSI: Symbol Search (processing speed)
10. PSI: Coding (associative memory)
- 2 Broad Scores
> Full Scale IQ = based on combined scores for the 10 subtests
, > General ability index (GAI) = based on only the 6 VCI and PSI
subtests
- SUBTESTS: Mean score = 10; SD = 3
- FSIQ: Mean score = 100; SD = 15
- 4 additional supplemental subtests
◉ WISC-V and WPPSI-IV
(Assessment & Diagnosis). Answer: - WISC-V = 6 yrs to 17 yrs
- WPPSI-IV = 2.5 yrs to 7.25 yrs
◉ Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (KTEA-3)
(Assessment & Diagnosis). Answer: - Measures academic ability in
children grades 1-12
- 3 Core Score Areas:
1. Reading
2. Math
3. Written Language
- verbal instructions can be minimized to make them fair for all
cultures
◉ Cognitive Assessment System (CAS2)
, (Assessment & Diagnosis). Answer: - Based on the PASS (planning,
attention, simultaneous processing, & sequential processing)
- AGES: 5-18
- All cultures and ethnicities
◉ Slosson Tests
(Assessment & Diagnosis). Answer: - designed to be fast ways of
estimating intelligence in order to identify children at risk of
educational failure
◉ Assessing Intellectual Disability
(Assessment & Diagnosis). Answer: 1. Vineland Bx Scales = measure
communication, daily living skills, and socializing to develop special
education programs
2. AAIDD Adaptive Bx Scales = assess personal self-sufficiency,
community self-sufficiency, personal-social responsibility, social
adjustment and personal adjustment for AGES 4-21
3. Denver II = screens for developmental delays by observing a
child's performance in personal-social, fine motor adaptive,
language, and gross motor domains
> if a child fails an item that 90% of younger children pass, that
child is scored as having a developmental delay
