Scores

Adaptation to Demands of Life

Moderate 35-50 May progress to second-grade level academically. Adults may contribute to their own support by laboring in sheltered workshops

Severe 20-35 May learn to talk and to perform simple tasks under close supervision but are generally unable to profit from vocational training

Teacher Information• Types of Files

– This presentation has been saved as a “basic” Powerpoint file. While this file format placed a few limitations on the presentation, it insured the file would be compatible with the many versions of Powerpoint teachers use. To add functionality to the presentation, teachers may want to save the file for their specific version of Powerpoint.

• Animation– Once again, to insure compatibility with all versions of Powerpoint, none of the

slides are animated. To increase student interest, it is suggested teachers animate the slides wherever possible.

• Adding slides to this presentation– Teachers are encouraged to adapt this presentation to their personal teaching

style. To help keep a sense of continuity, blank slides which can be copied and pasted to a specific location in the presentation follow this “Teacher Information” section.

Teacher Information• Hyperlink Slides - This presentation contain two types of hyperlinks. Hyperlinks

can be identified by the text being underlined and a different color (usually purple).

– Unit subsections hyperlinks: Immediately after the unit title slide, a page (slide #3) can be found listing all of the unit’s subsections. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of these hyperlinks will take the user directly to the beginning of that subsection. This allows teachers quick access to each subsection.

– Bold print term hyperlinks: Every bold print term from the unit is included in this presentation as a hyperlink. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of the hyperlinks will take the user to a slide containing the formal definition of the term. Clicking on the “arrow” in the bottom left corner of the definition slide will take the user back to the original point in the presentation.

These hyperlinks were included for teachers who want students to see or copy down the exact definition as stated in the text. Most teachers prefer the definitions not be included to prevent students from only “copying down what is on the screen” and not actively listening to the presentation.

For teachers who continually use the Bold Print Term Hyperlinks option, please contact the author using the email address on the next slide to learn a technique to expedite the returning to the original point in the presentation.

Teacher Information• Continuity slides

– Throughout this presentation there are slides, usually of graphics or tables, that build on one another. These are included for three purposes.

• By presenting information in small chunks, students will find it easier to process and remember the concepts.

• By continually changing slides, students will stay interested in the presentation.

• To facilitate class discussion and critical thinking. Students should be encouraged to think about “what might come next” in the series of slides.

Definition

Slides

Intelligence Test

= a method of assessing an individual's

mental aptitudes and comparing them with

those of others, using numerical scores.

Intelligence

= mental quality consisting of the ability to

learn from experience, solve problems,

and use knowledge to adapt to new

situations.

General Intelligence (g)

= a general intelligence factor that,

according to Spearman and others,

underlies specific mental abilities and is

therefore measured by every task on an

intelligence test.

Factor Analysis

= a statistical procedure that identifies

clusters of related items (called factors) on

a test; used to identify difference

dimensions of performance that underlie a

person’s total score.

Savant Syndrome

= a condition in which a person otherwise

limited in mental ability has an exceptional

specific skill, such as in computation or

drawing.

Emotional Intelligence

= the ability to perceive, understand,

manage, and use emotions.

Mental Age

= 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 the average 8-year-old is

said to have a mental age of 8.

Stanford-Binet

= the widely used American revision (by

Terman at Stanford University) of Binet’s

original intelligence test.

Intelligence Quotient (IQ)

= defined originally as the ratio of mental

age (ma) to chronological age (ca)

multiplied by 100 (thus, IQ=ma/ca X 100).

On contemporary intelligence tests, the

average performance for a given age is

assigned a score of 100.

Achievement Tests

= tests designed to assess what a person

has learned.

Aptitude Tests

= tests designed to predict a person’s future

performance; aptitude is the capacity to

learn.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence

Scale (WAIS)= the WAIS is the most widely used

intelligence test; contains verbal and

performance (nonverbal) subtests.

Standardization

= defining meaningful scores by comparison

with the performance of a pretested group.

Normal Curve

= a 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.

Reliability

= the extent to which a test yields consistent

results, as assessed by the consistency of

scores on two halves of the test, or on

retesting.

Validity

= the extent to which a test measures or

predicts what it is supposed to.

Content Validity

= the extent to which a test samples the

behavior that is of interest.

Predictive Validity

= 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).

Intellectual Disability

= (formerly referred to as mental retardation)

a condition of limited mental ability,

indicated by an intelligence score of 70 or

below and difficulty in adapting to the

demands of life; varies from mild to

profound.

Down Syndrome

= a condition of intellectual disability and

associated physical disorders caused by

an extra copy of chromosome 21.

Stereotype Threat

= a self-confirming concern that one will be

evaluated based on a negative stereotype.
