TERM: Intelligence DEFINITION: A method for assessing an individual's mental aptitudes and comparing them with those of others, using numerical . TERM: Mental DEFINITION: A measure of intelligence test performance devised by Binet; the chronological age that most typically corresponds to a given level of performance. Thus, a child who does as well as a 8-year-old is said to have a age of 8.
TERM: -BinetDEFINITION: The widely used American (by Terman at Stanford University) of Binet's original intelligence test. TERM: Quotient (IQ)DEFINITION: Defined originally as the ratio of mental age (ma) to chronological age (ca) multiplied by 100 units (thus, IQ= ma/ca x 100). On intelligence tests, the average performance for a given age is assigned a score of 100. TERM: DEFINITION: Mental quality consisting of the ability to learn from experience, problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations. TERM: Factor DEFINITION: A statistical procedure that identifies clusters of items (called factors) on a test; used to identify different dimensions of performance that underlie one's total score. TERM: intelligence (g)DEFINITION: A general intelligence factor that Spearman and others underlies specific mental abilities and is therefore measured by every task on an intelligence test. TERM: syndromeDEFINITION: A in which a person otherwise limited in mental ability has an exceptional specific skill, such as in computation or drawing.

TERM: ValidityDEFINITION: The extent to which a test measures or predicts what it is supposed to. (see also validity and predictive validity). TERM: validityDEFINITION: The extent to which a test the behavior that is of interest (such as driving test that samples driving tasks). TERM: DEFINITION: The behavior (such as grades) that a test (such as the SAT) is designed to predict; thus, the measure used in defining whether the test has predictive validity. TERM: Predictive DEFINITION: The success with which a test predicts the behavior it is designed to predict; it is assessed by computing the correlation between test scores and the criterion behavior. (also criterion-related validity). TERM: retardationDEFINITION: A condition of limited mental ability, indicated by an intelligence score below 70 and difficulty in adapting to the of life; varies from mild to profound.
