Document Summary
There are already different attitudes about education and nutrition that are passed on from generation to generation. Identify children who might have difficulty in school. Cannot benefit in the traditional classroom and might benefit from a different system. Intelligence quotient (iq: determine at what level a child is functioning, metal age/chronological age x 100 = iq. Only works for children under the age of 16: 2/3rds of children are between 85 and 115, iq tests use different subscales to composite a intelligent scale. All iq test have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Anything from 85 to 115 is within the average. Estimate of where you fall not the actual score. Not a huge amount of change in iq score as they are ranks. Both maturational and experiential variables influence iq scores. As mental capacity increases there is an increase in improved performance on items of the test.
