Such a procedure in fact used in isolation is tantamount to employing single tests to diagnose "brain damage, and this approach has been justly criticized in previous work (Reitan and Davison, 1974). (healthyplace.com)
Subtests2
While not rejecting the concept of general intelligence (as conceptualized by his teacher Charles Spearman), he divided the concept of intelligence into two main areas: verbal and performance (non-verbal) scales, each evaluated with different subtests. (wikipedia.org)
Test (general scale) and reasoning subtests that belong to the Battery for Giftedness Assessment (BAHA/G). The results from Pearson's correlation indicated convergence as the majority of the factors composed in BAHA/G showed positive and significant correlations with the Raven test factors, and the CFA displayed two latent variables with strong correlations, particularly among their total score (r=.976).

Intelligence10
He developed well-known intelligence scales, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) to get to know his patients at Bellevue Hospital. (wikipedia.org)
This battery differed greatly from the Binet scale which, in Wechsler's day, was generally considered the supreme authority with regard to intelligence testing. (wikipedia.org)
As the 1960 form of Lewis Terman's Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales was less carefully developed than previous versions, Form I of the WAIS surpassed the Stanford-Binet tests in popularity by the 1960s. (wikipedia.org)
From these he derived the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) in 1949 and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) in 1967. (wikipedia.org)
First, he did away with the quotient scores of older intelligence tests (the Q in "I.Q."). Instead, he assigned an arbitrary value of 100 to the mean intelligence and added or subtracted another 15 points for each standard deviation above or below the mean the subject was. (wikipedia.org)
Dr. David Wechsler, a psychologist who was the author of widely used intelligence tests, died yesterday at his home on Manhattan's East Side. (wikipedia.org)

Test5
Wechsler objected to the single score offered by the 1937 Binet scale, finding the then-current Binet IQ test unsatisfactory. (wikipedia.org)
Four primary methods of inference are utilized in making these determinations, namely, level of performance, pathognomonic sign, comparison of the two sides of the body and specific patterns of test scores. (healthyplace.com)
The Halstead Category Test provides an example of this level of performance approach. (healthyplace.com)
Furthermore, FC of the default mode network was positively correlated with memory scores from the brief visuospatial memory test-revised, and FC of the visual network was positively correlated with visuospatial scores from the clock copying test in the PD-MCI group. (biomedcentral.com)
Estimated premorbid and current IQ were calculated using the Wechsler Test of Adult Reading and a 4-subtest WAIS-III. (cambridge.org)
Greatly1
There are many exceptions, but the odds for success in our society greatly favor individuals with higher IQs. (gwern.net)
Tests2
Wechsler originally created his tests to find out more about his patients at the Bellevue clinic. (wikipedia.org)
Whatever IQ tests measure, it is of great practical and social importance. (gwern.net)
Individuals4
Likewise, a score of 50 errors or below places the individual in the normal range generally characteristic of individuals with unimpaired brain functioning. (healthyplace.com)
In most cases, the cut-off score will not completely separate individuals with brain dysfunction from those without. (healthyplace.com)
However, from around 12 years of age individuals with ASD and average IQ often show levels of false belief performance that are similar to those of NT children ( Happé, 1995 ). (frontiersin.org)
Its relation to the welfare and performance of individuals is very strong in some arenas in life (education, military training), moderate but robust in others (social competence), and modest but consistent in others (law-abidingness). (gwern.net)
Children1
A second rationale for the use of CAS as a cover term for this disorder, rather than alternative terms such as developmental apraxia of speech (DAS) or developmental verbal dyspraxia (DVD) , is that our literature review indicated that apraxia of speech occurs in children in three clinical contexts. (asha.org)
Survey2
A Review of General Psychology survey, published in 2002, ranked Wechsler as the 51st most cited psychologist of the 20th century. (wikipedia.org)
As Snyderman and Rothman's (1988) survey of IQ experts and journalists revealed, the media, among others, have been turning the truth on its head. (gwern.net)
Generally2
Cut-off scores are generally developed for such a task, which allow the practitioner to classify an individual as either impaired or unimpaired with respect to brain functioning, depending upon whether his score falls above or below the cut-off value in use. (healthyplace.com)
IQs do gradually stabilize during childhood, however, and generally change little thereafter. (gwern.net)
Environment2
That IQ may be highly heritable does not mean that it is not affected by the environment. (gwern.net)
Although the environment is important in creating IQ differences, we do not know yet how to manipulate it to raise low IQs permanently. (gwern.net)
Average1
These occupational level ratings correlate between .90 and .95 with average GMA scores of people in the occupations ( Jensen 1998 , p. 293). (gwern.net)
Success1
Of course, a high IQ no more guarantees success than a low IQ guarantees failure in life. (gwern.net)
Years2
After short stints at various locations (including five years in private practice), Wechsler became chief psychologist at Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital in 1932, where he stayed until 1967. (wikipedia.org)
We also compared language scores at 4 years for those with typical and atypical lateralization, and then looked at the association the opposite way: comparing those with typical or impaired language in terms of their cerebral lateralization. (peerj.com)
Measures1
The primary danger of using level of performance measures alone to diagnose brain dysfunction is that of classification errors. (healthyplace.com)
