Document Summary
There is an emphasis on intelligence and cognition as the defining characteristic. This is evident in our terminology (mental retardation, intellectual disability, for example). Intelligence: a term that lacks clarity in its definition. Global intelligence could be the shared measure between different intelligence tests. Iq score around 70 or lower represents cut-off for qualification of an intellectual disability. Alfred binet was credited with the first modern iq test in 1905, which continues to influence our current views of intelligence and how to measure it. These tests were designed to predict school success and make program decisions. He published an article known as new methods for diagnosis of intellectual level of subnormals. Standardized procedures: administering the same items in the same way to each person. Ranking of items according to difficulty: beginning with easier items. Consideration of the developmental growth in intellectual abilities. Lewis terman brought the stanford-binet to america.
