Document Summary

8. 5 describe recent approaches to measuring intelligence in infants. 8. 6 define achievement and aptitude tests and compare their uses. 8. 7 analyze the sources of score differences achieved by different groups on iq and other tests. 8. 8 describe the effects of aging on intelligence. Formulated by arnold gesell, the developmental quotient is an overall development score that relates to performance in four domains: motor skills (balance and sitting), language use, adaptive behavior (alertness and exploration), and personal-social behavior. Developed by nancy bayley, the bayley scales of i(cid:374)fa(cid:374)t develop(cid:373)e(cid:374)t evaluate a(cid:374) i(cid:374)fa(cid:374)t"s development from 2 to 42 months. The bayley scales focus on two areas: mental (senses, perception, memory, learning, problem solving, and language) and motor abilities (fine and gross motor skills). Measures of visual-recognition memory, the memory and recognition of a stimulus that has been previously seen, also relate to intelligence.
