WISC-V EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1 Weschler's View of Intelligence - Answers -The capacity of a person to act
purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his or her environment.
Mediated cognition - Answers -Mediated = Actively involved in thinking process,
complex cognitive process and sophisticated. Are those process that lead to
understanding. It involves the ability to transform and use knowledge in appropriate
settings. (EX Problem solving, transfer info)
Controlled process is an intentionally-initiated sequence of cognitive activities.
In other words, when attention is required for a task, we are consciously aware and in
control.
Mediated cognition - complex cognition process - Answers -Controlled processes
require us to think about situations, evaluate and make decisions. An example would be
reading this page, you are required to read and understand the concepts of these
processes and it takes effort to think conceptually.
Controlled processes are thought to be slower, since by definition they require effort full
control; therefore, they generally cannot be conducted simultaneously with other
controlled processes without task-switching or impaired performance.
Automatic Cognitive process - Answers -Automatic = An automatic process is capable
of occurring without the need for attention/awareness of the process, interfering with
other concurrent thought processes. (Repetitive Structure).
Put simply, an automatic process is unintentional, involuntary, effortless (not
consumptive of limited processing capacity), and occurring outside awareness
