Testing: - correct answer✔✔Administering and scoring tests; focused on collecting data
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




-only using 1 source of info
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Assessment: - correct answer✔✔Using *several* clinical tools including a variety of tests, ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




observations, and interviews ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Focused on *integrating* findings and *interpreting* data
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




-outcome, conclusion ||\\//||




Testing vs. Assessment - correct answer✔✔Testing produces findings, assessment gives
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




meaning to those findings by putting them in the context of the person's life.
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Multi-method assessment (5) - correct answer✔✔-psychologists strive for multi method ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




assessment

-multi-informant, multi-setting (in order to diagnose one needs to see the problem in ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




different settings), multi-focus (look at cognitive and social abilities, daily functioning,etc),
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




multi-techniques (all 4 pillars), strengths and abilities ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




4 pillars of assessment (multi-technique) - correct answer✔✔1) Interviews : intake
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




interviews --> how doing in different domains, develop history ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

,2) Behavioral observations: can do this while waiting in waiting room
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




3) Informal assessment data: records and reports, informal tests and procedures
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




(medical/school records, dream journal, drawing of family, informal personality assessment: ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




kid fills in sentences)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




4) *Norm-referenced measures*: tests that have been standardized so that can compare to a
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




normative population --> where does this person stand in regard to peers of his/her age ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




(Ex: WAIS, WISC) ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Assessment Process: Part 1 - correct answer✔✔1) Review referral information (is this ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




referral appropriate for me? I work with kids, but an adult comes in) ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




2) obtain additional information: call on phone, ask questions (need to know if have a
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




disability, blind, deaf, reading disability,etc) ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




will lead you to select a test battery
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




4) Select Test Battery: what tests should I give the client?
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




5) Administer tests ||\\//|| ||\\//||

||\\//|| ||\\//||




8) Write the Report ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




9) Share the Report with individual and important people in their lives
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




10)Follow up & Reassess ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Calculate age in a WAIS-IV - correct answer✔✔-just subtract actual age from test age ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




-if less days than on test date than birthdate then subtract a month and add 30 days to test
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




age

- if less months on test date than birthdate then subtract a year and add 12 months to test
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




age

,History of Intelligence: 1800s (look up who did insanity) - correct answer✔✔Early 1800s -
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Jean Esquirol ||\\//||




-differentiates intellectual deficits from insanity (first differentiate mental illness from ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




aspects of intellectual ability) ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




||\\//|| -continuum from mild to severe ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




||\\//|| -attempts to measure thru verbal skills ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




||\\//|| (how many words did the person say, did
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




||\\//|| they only make sounds?) ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




||\\//|| -insanity vs. idiocy -- from early differentiating of mental illness ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Late 1800s (Laboratory Period of Psychology)- Galton, Wundt, Cattell
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




-focus on objective measurement of psychological factors
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




||\\//|| -did this through sensory and motor tests
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




-known as the lab period of psychology bc it was the first time ppl saw the measurement of
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




psychometric constructs ||\\//||




-not testing on all different intelligence models
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Wundt: most well known for rx time, setting up labs ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Galton: founder of psychometrics, mental test --> measurement --> looking at reliability
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




and validity, crafted idea of correlation
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




-ppl used this information to sterilize: identify inferior/superior ppl based on
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




heredity/genetics (eugenics movement) ||\\//|| ||\\//||

, Cattell: ||\\//||




Like Galton focused on the study of individual differences in bx.
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




History of Intelligence Testing: Early 1900s (look over format of 1916 s-b) - correct ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




answer✔✔1) Alfred Binet: ||\\//|| ||\\//||




-1st to examine higher mental processes
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




-1905 Binet-Simon scale: 1st IQ test to measure higher mental processes (not measuring
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




head size, rx time); measured primarily through verbal abilities (asking questions)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




||\\//|| -was used to identify children in France who ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




||\\//|| needed help to do well in school --> ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




||\\//|| prosocial goal; good at predicting children ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




||\\//|| who need extra instructions ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




-thought there were different types of intelligence ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




2) Lewis Terman: ||\\//|| ||\\//||




-1916 revision and standardization creates Stanford-Binet ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- Introduces the term IQ = mental age/chronological age x 100
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




issues: didn't put kids on a normal curve; today, the curve is standardized so that 50% fall
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




above the mean of 100 and 50% fall below; the 1916 Stanford-Binet would pick items for the
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




test that were different from one age to another (selection and placement of items were
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




based on the percentages of children who passed each item at successive age levels and on
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




whether the items yielded a median IQ of 100) ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




||\\//|| ------the problem with this was that too many people fell on upper end (negative skew) ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
