    The passage discusses the Stanford-Binet IV and Wechsler scales, including their psychometrics, administration, and standardization samples.

    The commonalities across the Wechsler scales include verbal and performance scales with a full scale score, as well as indices for the WAIS and WISC that are made up of subscales.

    The Wechsler scales measure verbal and performance factors plus four indices.

    Stanford-Binet IV

    • Description:
    – Point-scale (contrast with age-scale of previous
    editions)
    – Test composite (M=100, SD=16)
    – 4 areas & scores (M=100, SD=16)
    – 15 subtests (M=50, SD=8)
    Stanford-Binet IV Psychometrics
    • Standardization sample
    – 5013 subjects
    – overrepresentation of upper social class & college-
    educated parents
    • Weighted norms
    • Reliability
    – Subtests: .80s to .90s range
    – Internal consistency of Composite: .95 to .99
    SB IV Psychometrics (cont.)
    • Validity
    – Criterion-related validity: median of .70; ranges
    from .21 to .90 depending on range of abilities
    in specific sample and criterion instrument used
    – Construct: Factor analysis
    • Support for general ability factor (g)
    • Verbal ability consistently supported
    • Other factors not consistently supported at all age
    levels
    SB IV Administration
    • Adaptive testing: testing tailored to
    individual test taker
    • Use of Vocabulary as “Routing” test
    • Basal & Ceiling
    Evaluation
    • Reliable & valid measure of overall
    intelligence
    • Strengths:
    – Large standardization sample
    – Efforts to eliminate bias
    • Weaknesses
    – Overrepresentation of upper class in norms
    – Not supported by factor analysis at all ages
    Wechsler Scales
    Through the Years
    Wechsler- WISC (1949) WPPSI (1967)
    Bellevue (1939)
    WAIS (1955) WISC-R (1974) WPPSI-R
    (1989)
    WAIS-R (1981) WISC III (1991)

    WAIS III (1997)


    Wechsler Scales
    • 3 versions: WAIS III(16-89); WISC III(6-16);
    WPPSI (3-7)
    • Commonalities:
    – Verbal & Performance Scales + Full Scale (M=100,
    SD=15)
    • WAIS & WISC also divided into “indices”
    – V & P scales each made up of subscales (M=10, SD=3)
    • Most frequently administered IQ tests; “Gold
    standard”?
    WAIS III
    • Standardization sample: 2450 adults 16-89
    divided into 13 age bands
    – 1995 census data: age, sex, race/ethnicity,
    educational level, geographic region
    • How many factors do the Wechsler scales
    measure?
    – V & P plus four indices
    – Are they valid?
    WAIS III Indices
    Verbal Working Perceptual Processing
    Comprehension Memory Organization Speed

    Vocabulary, Arithmetic, Picture Digit Symbol,


    Similarities, Digit Span, Completion, Symbol
    Information Letter- Block Design, Search
    Number Matrix
    Sequencing Reasoning
    WISC III
    • Standardization sample: 2200 kids 6-16
    – 1988 census race/ethnicity, region of country,
    parental ed. Level
    • Additional testing of African-American & Hispanic
    kids to limit bias
    • Several validity studies
    WPPSI-R
    • Standardization sample: 1700 children in 8 age
    groups (1/2 year intervals) between 3 years
    and 7 years & one age group 7-0 through 7-3
    – Based on 1986 census estimates
    • Generally considered to be reliable and valid
    – V & FS from preschoolers predictors of 1st grade
    achievement, PIQ did not predict achievement
