Document Summary
Scale: stanford-binet test- as a test intended to measure innate levels of intelligence, but binet viewed it differently. And most of the iq scores remained constant: deviation iq - iq of adults is calculated by comparing the person"s test scores with the average score of people with the same age. General ability index (gai) & cognitive proficiency index (cpi): gai - computed from scores on the verbal comprehension & perceptual reasoning. These measures tap into an individual"s intellectual abilities, but without placing much emphasis on how fast he can solve problems and make decisions: cpi - based on the working memory and processing speed subtests. Let students know hard work is the best way to prepare for the exam: the entity & incremental concepts were used to help kids stay in school. Both synaptogenesis & synaptic pruning - increase neural efficiency by strengthening needed connections between nerve cells and weeding out unnecessary ones.
