Psych Vocab Quiz Unit 2 Part 4

Define Intelligence

• Defined originally as the ratio of mental age (ma) to chronological age (ca) multiplied by 100. IQ=ma/ca X 100

• According to Spearman and others, underlies all mental abilities and is therefore measured by every task on an intelligence test

• The ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations.

• A measure of intelligence test performance devised by Binet; the level of performance typically associated with children of a certain chronological age.

Define General Intelligence (g)

• A measure of intelligence test performance devised by Binet; the level of performance typically associated with children of a certain chronological age.

• The ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations.

• According to Spearman and others, underlies all mental abilities and is therefore measured by every task on an intelligence test

• Defined originally as the ratio of mental age (ma) to chronological age (ca) multiplied by 100. IQ=ma/ca X 100

Define Intelligence Quotient (IQ)

• A measure of intelligence test performance devised by Binet; the level of performance typically associated with children of a certain chronological age.

• The ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations.

• According to Spearman and others, underlies all mental abilities and is therefore measured by every task on an intelligence test

• Defined originally as the ratio of mental age (ma) to chronological age (ca) multiplied by 100. IQ=ma/ca X 100

Define Mental Age

• Defining uniform testing procedures and meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested group

• A measure of intelligence test performance devised by Binet; the level of performance typically associated with children of a certain chronological age.

• The scientific study of the measurement of human abilities, attitudes, and traits

• The extent to which a test or experiment measures or predicts what it is supposed to

Define Psychometrics

• Defining uniform testing procedures and meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested group

• The scientific study of the measurement of human abilities, attitudes, and traits

• The extent to which a test or experiment measures or predicts what it is supposed to

• How much a test measures a concept or trait

Define Standardization

• How much a test measures a concept or trait

• Defining uniform testing procedures and meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested group

• The extent to which a test or experiment measures or predicts what it is supposed to

• 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.

Define Validity

• The extent to which a test or experiment measures or predicts what it is supposed to

• The extent to which a test-yield consistent results, as assessed by the consistency of scores on two halves of the test, on alternative forms of the test, or on testing.

• How much a test measures a concept or trait

• 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.

Define Construct Validity

• The scientific study of the measurement of human abilities, attitudes, and traits

• The extent to which a test-yield consistent results, as assessed by the consistency of scores on two halves of the test, on alternative forms of the test, or on testing.

• 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.

• How much a test measures a concept or trait

Define Predictive Validity

• The extent to which a test-yield consistent results, as assessed by the consistency of scores on two halves of the test, on alternative forms of the test, or on testing.

• The extent to which a test or experiment measures or predicts what it is supposed to

• How much a test measures a concept or trait

• 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.

Define Reliability

• The extent to which a test-yield consistent results, as assessed by the consistency of scores on two halves of the test, on alternative forms of the test, or on testing.

• The extent to which a test or experiment measures or predicts what it is supposed to

• How much a test measures a concept or trait

• 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.
