Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
A.
A statistical procedure that identifies clusters of related items (called factors) on a test; used to identify different dimensions of performance that underlie one's total score.
B.
The WAIS is the most widely used intelligence test; contains verbal and performance (nonverbal) subtests.
C.
A test designed to predict a person's future performance; aptitude is the capacity to learn.
D.
The ability to produce novel and valuable ideas.
E.
A condition in which a person otherwise limited in mental ability has an exceptional specific skill, such as in computation or drawing.
F.
Mental quality consisting of the ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations.
G.
The widely used American revision (by Terman at Stanford University) of Binet's original intelligence test.
H.
The extent to which a test yields consistent results, as assessed by the consistency of scores on two halves of the test, on alternate forms of the test, or on retesting.
I.
The extent to which a test samples the behavior that is of interest (such as driving test that samples driving tasks).
J.
A method for assessing an individual's mental aptitudes and comparing them with those of others, using numerical scores.
K.
A general intelligence factor that Spearman and others believed underlies specific mental abilities and is therefore measured by every task on an intelligence test.
L.
Defined originally as the ratio of mental age (ma) to chronological age (ca) multiplied by 100 units (thus, IQ= ma/ca x 100). On contemporary intelligence tests, the average performance for a given age is assigned a score of 100.
M.
Defining meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested "standardization group".
Type the TERM that corresponds to the displayed DEFINITION.
incorrect
14.
The behavior (such as college grades) that a test (such as the SAT) is designed to predict; thus, the measure used in defining whether the test has predictive validity.
incorrect
15.
The extent to which a test measures or predicts what it is supposed to. (see also content validity and predictive validity).
incorrect
16.
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 mental age of 8.
incorrect
17.
A condition of retardation and associated physical disorders caused by an extra chromosome in one's genetic makeup.
incorrect
18.
The symmetrical bell-shaped curve that describes the distribution of many physical and psychological attributes. Most scores fall near the average, and fewer and fewer scores lie near the extremes.
incorrect
19.
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 called criterion-related validity).
incorrect
20.
A self-confirming concern that one will be evaluated based on a negative stereotype.
incorrect
21.
A condition of limited mental ability, indicated by an intelligence score below 70 and difficulty in adapting to the demands of life; varies from mild to profound.
incorrect
22.
A test designed to assess what a person has learned.
incorrect
23.
