SPHR 2133 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Block Design, Fluid And Crystallized Intelligence
Document Summary
Practical/ contextual: ability to adapt to one"s environment. Intelligence quotient (iq): index of performance on standardized tests. Measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean of same age peers. Wechsler scales of intelligence for children or adults. Block design: red and white blocks in a pattern. Picture concepts: common bond in rows of pictures. Matrix reasoning: missing square and select picture that fits array from five options. Measure of fluid intelligence and analytical reasoning. Requires: ability to infer rules, manages a hierarchy, measure of reasoning and problem solving. Uneven iq profile with strengths on block design and matrix reasoning. Only 31% of children with asd have id. 33% of children with asd have iq, low functioning. 5% of children with asd would have id or low functioning. Child copies symbols that are paired with simple geometric shapes of numbers. Child draws each symbol in its corresponding shape or box within a specified time limit.
