Which of the following WAIS-IV subtests has a highest g loading?
Arithmetic
Block Design
Vocabulary
Digit Span
Similarities
Updating the WAIS-IV's theoretical foundations was achieved by considering the following theoretical constructs EXCEPT
Fluid reasoning
Working memory
Processing speed
Phonological processing
Which of the following WAIS-IV subtests is a CORE subtest that is used to compute FSIQ?
Visual Puzzles
Letter-Number Sequencing
Picture Completion
Comprehension
Figure Weights
Which WAIS-IV subtest does NOT offer Process scores?
Which index includes the subtests with the lowest loadings on the general (g) factor?
Verbal comprehension
Perceptual Reasoning
Working Memory
Processing Speed
The examiner must memorize all directions in order to administer the test appropriately.
If you find you need to adapt the test to accommodate an individual with special needs, it is better not to administer the test altogether.
Which of these subtests do NOT use a "reverse rule"?
Visual Puzzle
To preserve the balance of maintaining rapport and getting necessary clinical information, it is best to:
Record only the examinee's score if it can save some time and quicken the pace of the evaluation.
record the examinee's responses verbatim, but using abbreviations when possible.
Record only incorrect responses to analyze clinically.
Tell the examinee to wait just a few minutes while you very carefully write down every single word that is said.
Which subtests require the use of a stopwatch?
Symbol Search
Information
Cancellation
Unless replacing another subtest, none of the following subtests are used in the calculation of the FSIQ except
Letter-Number Sequencing.
Symbol Search.
Comprehension.
Figure Weights.
At what age can Figure Weights no longer be substituted for other PRI subtests?
Age 50
Age 60
Age 65
Age 70
What is the mean and standard deviation of scaled scores?
100 and 15
50 and 10
10 and 3
5 and 2
500 and 100
If you forget to administer the Digit Span Sequencing portion of the DIgit Span subtest, you can simply calculate the Digit Span Scaled Score based on the Raw Score sum of Digit Span Forward and Digit Span Backward because that was how digit Span was calculated on previous versions of the WAIS.
Which one of the following WAIS-IV subtests is NOT especially vulnerable to distractibility?
Coding
Which of the following WAIS-IV subtests BEST provides clinical information about a person's ability to express his or her ideas in words and to provide possible insight into the persons's fears, guilt, preoccupation, feelings, interests, and cultural background?
Using the WAIS-IV descriptive classification system to describe the WAIS-IV Index scores, a score of 84 should be described as
a Normative Strength.
within normal limits.
Borderline
a Low Average
An abnormally large discrepancy between PRI and VCI means it is
rare among the normal population.
equivalent to a statistically significant discrepancy.
at least 50-point discrepancy.
at least 5-point discrepancy.
If an individual has WMI less than 85, that person has a possible deficit in
working memory.
auditory attention.
expressive language.
speed of auditory processing.
In calculation of an individual's personal strengths and weaknesses in the index or factor profile, you compare each of their interpretable index or factor scores to the person's own mean index or factor score.
What major variable, if left uncontrolled, tends to confound the results of cross-sectional analyses of aging and intelligence (and , therefore, has been controlled in most studies)?
Educational attainment
Physical health
Home environment
Emotional intelligence
Gender
What kind of abilities are fluid reasoning (Gf) and processing speed (Gs) concerning changes in cognitive ability across the life span?
Maintained
Responsive to intervention
Vulnerable
Static
Unreliable
Most researchers on aging and intelligence have documented empirically that speed is responsible for all of the decline that Horn and others have attributed to diminished fluid intelligence.
Which Wechsler scale shows the greatest declines between young adulthood in both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of aging and intelligence?
Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI)
Processing Speed Index (PSI)
Working Memory Index (WMI)
Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI)
Verbal IQ
What activity in old age has been most associated with maintenance of intelligence in old age?
Engaging in intellectual activities (e.g., playing Scrabble)
Engaging in social activities (e.g., hosting parties)
Engaging in physical activities (e.g., jogging)
Engaging in restful activities (e.g., getting 8 hours of sleep each night)
